In Short : EaseMyTrip has secured a tender for operating inter-city electric buses in Madhya Pradesh, marking a significant step in sustainable public transportation. This initiative aligns with India’s push for green mobility, reducing carbon emissions and promoting eco-friendly travel. The project will enhance connectivity across cities while supporting the state’s commitment to clean energy solutions.

In Detail : EaseMyTrip.com, through its subsidiaries YoloBus and Easy Green Mobility, has won Madhya Pradesh’s inaugural inter-city electric bus tender issued by Sagar City Transport Services Limited (SCTSL). This initiative aims to address the growing demand for electric buses in the state, aligning with its goals for sustainable public transportation.

The first batch of advanced electric buses is scheduled for deployment in August 2025. These buses will focus on technology, passenger comfort, and environmental efficiency, promising a safe and eco-friendly travel experience.

Rikant Pittie, CEO and Co-Founder of EaseMyTrip said, “Our entry into in-house electric bus manufacturing is a direct response to the strong demand we’ve observed through YoloBus. In a market where supply struggles to meet soaring demand, we recognized that this strategic shift was not just necessary to address immediate operational needs but also to capture a rapidly growing market. The electric vehicle market, valued at $331.9 million in 2024, is projected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 18.2 per cent. This move is further supported by robust government initiatives, such as the PM E-Drive, state-level policies, and PLI schemes, offering an excellent opportunity to localise production and create a fully ‘Make-in-India’ product. With our new subsidiary, Easy Green Mobility, and an initial investment of Rs 200 crore, we are committed to setting new standards in sustainable transit and expanding our presence in the booming EV and eMobility sector”

“We are thrilled to collaborate with SCTSL and the Madhya Pradesh government in their commitment to advancing sustainable mobility and are grateful for their trust in Easy Green Mobility and EaseMyTrip. As we contribute to India’s ‘Make in India’ vision of becoming a global leader in green transportation, we are excited to roll out our advanced electric buses through YoloBus, providing a new experience to the people of Madhya Pradesh with eco-friendly travel solutions and comfortable buses. Through this partnership, we remain dedicated to enhancing public transit in the region by delivering an improved travel experience while promoting sustainable and innovative mobility solutions’, added Manoj Soni, CEO of Easy Green Mobility.
