Switch Mobility Secures 650-Bus Order Under India's E-Drive Program

Switch Mobility, the electric vehicle manufacturer known for its buses and light commercial offerings, has landed a significant contract to deliver 650 nine-meter electric buses across India. The order comes through the government-backed PM E-Drive scheme, which is part of the country’s push to electrify public transportation. The deployment is expected to bolster eco-friendly commuting options in multiple cities over the coming months.

These buses, part of Switch’s EiV series, are designed for dense urban environments where maneuverability and passenger capacity matter. The nine-meter platform strikes a practical balance, allowing transit operators to navigate narrow streets while accommodating a healthy number of riders. Switch Mobility will work with the Ministry of Heavy Industries to roll out the fleet under the initiative’s guidelines.

This win strengthens Switch’s position in India’s rapidly expanding electric bus market. The company has been steadily building its presence with a focus on reliable, cost-effective vehicles for mass transit. With this order, it continues its trajectory as a key player supporting the nation’s sustainability goals.
