Public-Private model has emerged as a way for cities to introduce or scale electric bus services

Price Bids of the Grand Challenge tender process for 5,450 electric buses were opened by Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) on 26 April 2022 for deployment of the e-vehicles in Kolkata, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Surat.

The tender has been managed by Convergence Energy Services Limited, as per remodeled FAME II Scheme for which the Gazette Notification was issued by MHI on 11 June 2021.

The tender establishes a benchmark for public transit going forward in terms of a business model. It allows state agencies to purchase mobility as a service, where operators are paid a fixed price denominated as rupees per kilometer over a period of time.

The public-private model has emerged as a way for cities to introduce or scale electric bus services. With a burgeoning demand for mobility, this model holds the potential to serve as a solution to cover the investment needs of the bus sector and ramp up bus services.

The rates seen in this tender are the lowest ever, with Tata Motors coming across as the least cost bidder across all five categories of electric buses contained in the tender.

Discovered prices are between 15% and 48% lower than the lowest price discovered by the cities. At these rates, electric buses become extremely affordable across the country.

The MHI has been actively engaged in supporting the deployment of electric mobility in India.

In June 2021, the FAME II scheme was remodelled and its delivery mechanism changed to better suit the needs of state transport undertakings, especially in their financial ability to afford electric buses.

MHI is also actively engaged in other aspects of electric mobility. The PLI Scheme for Automobile and Auto Component Industry, the National Program on Advanced Chemistry Cell Battery Storage, and the FAME Scheme for the proliferation of charging infrastructure. The total capital outlay of these schemes is about Rs.54,000 crores. fiinews.com
