Overview
- Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said the provincial government has formally approved induction of 100 additional electric buses into the public transport network.
- Officials also reported approval for a broader plan to add ‘hundreds more’ electric buses, though that larger figure and its timetable were not specified.
- The announcement builds on a first-phase rollout in which the province introduced electric buses and EV scooters, described by officials as a Pakistan first.
- Authorities framed the expansion as a way to reduce carbon emissions, cut fuel consumption, and give commuters safer, more comfortable travel under the PPP’s green-transport agenda.
- Key details on procurement, funding, charging infrastructure and a delivery schedule were not provided, so the next milestones to watch are contract awards, rollout timelines and route deployment.
