19 February 2025 in New Delhi: As part of the ambitious PM e-Bus Sewa Scheme-2, the Indian government has placed a record order for 1,021 electric buses with JBM Ecolife Mobility Pvt Ltd., a division of JBM Auto Limited. This is a huge step forward for sustainable transportation in India.

A strong Payment Security Mechanism (PSM) will be implemented in the project, which solidifies that the electric bus operators can continue to operate and they have financial stability and that there is a steady flow of funds. There is no denying the environmental impact of these e-buses. In the next 12 years, these buses are expected to reduce carbon emissions by more than 1 billion metric tons while covering an incredible 32 billion passenger kilometers.

In the next three to four years, it aims to transport over 20 billion passengers in a secure, comfortable, and futuristic manner, covering 3 billion electric kilometers.

Approximately 2,000 electric buses are in operation throughout the African continent, Europe, the Middle East, and India, according to JBM Auto. Its overall order book now surpasses an impressive 11,000 electric buses in various stages of execution, thanks to this recent order.
