JBM Strengthens Zero-Emission Fleet with Delhi & Gandhinagar Rollouts

JBM Ecolife, a leading Indian electric bus manufacturer and part of JBM Auto, has further strengthened its national electric mobility footprint with new deployments across key Indian cities.

With these launches, JBM now has over 3,000 electric buses running in India, advancing the country’s transition to clean, sustainable public transport.

In New Delhi, Chief Minister, Smt. Rekha Gupta inaugurated 103 JBM Ecolife, 9-metre low-floor air-conditioned electric buses post which they were inducted into the city’s public transport fleet. With this rollout, JBM’s electric bus fleet in Delhi is now close to 1,000 buses, reinforcing the capital’s shift towards zero-emission urban mobility.

JBM Ecolife has signed an agreement with Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation (GMC) under the PM e-Bus Sewa scheme to supply 100 electric buses. The first phase will deliver 40 buses by FY25-26, expanding JBM’s fleet in Gujarat to nearly 500. These fully air-conditioned, 25-seater buses will feature CCTV, automatic doors, and accessibility for seniors and differently-abled passengers. They aim to enhance last-mile connectivity, reduce carbon emissions, and will be supported by a modern depot and charging infrastructure.
