Revolutionizing India's Buses: Startup's Electric Impact | Sudhir Mehta | EKA & Pinnacle Industries
India has 326 million registered vehicles on the road in 2024. Seventy-five percent of these are two-wheelers, including scooters and motorcycles, down from 80% just four years ago. Approximately 12% of these are trucks and buses, with the vast majority being trucks, as only 2% of registered vehicles in India are buses.
The fastest way to clean the air in Indian cities is to convert public transportation, including intra-city and intercity buses, to electric. The government has made significant progress in this area over the last four years, converting over 5,000 buses a year in Indian cities to electric.
Initially, Chinese buses played a key role in this transition, but over the last four years, Indian entrepreneurs have invested boldly to implement new technology made in India for electrification and clean mobility in Indian cities.
Today, we are speaking with one such company, an Indian gem: Eka Mobility. We welcome to the programme Sudhir Chairman, founder, and CEO of EKA Pinnacle Industries.
