Hyderabad-based Olectra Greentech says it becomes the first company in India to deploy 4,000 electric buses on roads. The outlets report that the company’s fleet has already accumulated substantial operating mileage, with one source stating the buses have collectively covered more than 730 million “green kilometres.” The company attributes the environmental impact to this displacement of conventional vehicle usage, estimating that the fleet helps prevent over 6.5 lakh tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. While the reports focus on the milestone and associated emissions calculations, they do not provide additional details in the excerpts about charging infrastructure, operating routes, or the number of cities served. Across the sources, the central common points are the same: Olectra is described as the first firm in India to reach a deployment level of 4,000 electric buses, and its fleet’s reported cumulative mileage is used to estimate carbon emissions avoided.
