TGSRTC plans to introduce 2,800 electric buses in Hyderabad

The capital region’s public transport system is poised for a major green transformation, with the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) planning to induct around 2,800 electric buses in a phased manner to replace diesel buses operating within the Outer Ring Road (ORR) limits.

The transition is expected to significantly reduce the corporation”s fuel expenditure while improving urban air



quality.

According to TGSRTC’s August 2026 fleet statistics, 1,037 electric buses were already operating across its network in the State. Around 500 electric buses were reported operating in Hyderabad by May 2026.

The expansion plan includes 2,200 additional electric buses under the Centre”s PM E-DRIVE scheme, alongside the conversion of existing diesel buses through retrofitting.
