Jammu, (PTI) The slow progress in setting up of infrastructure including charging stations by Tata Motors has delayed the launch of 100 electric buses here, official sources said on Sunday.
According to Tata Motors, “charging infrastructure in both Srinagar and Jammu is being consistently developed and is now in ready to operate mode.” Under the Smart City Project, the Jammu and Kashmir administration has placed an order with Tata Motors for procurement of 200 electric buses equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including a real-time tracking system, for the twin capital cities of the Union Territory.
The move to introduce 100 eco-friendly buses each in Jammu and Srinagar is aimed at reducing air and noise pollution and dependence on fossil fuels, as well as to provide better facilities to the people.
