New Delhi: GreenCell Mobility (GCM), India’s largest electric bus platform and a flagship company in Eversource Capital’s portfolio, has announced to deploy 570 electric buses in Delhi over the next few months, supporting the city’s efforts to expand zero-emission public transport.
The deployment follows the completion of an USD 89 million investment round by International Finance Corporation (IFC), British International Investment (BII), and Tata Capital, reflecting strong institutional confidence in GreenCell Mobility’s ability to deliver scalable electric mobility solutions for India’s transportation sector.
Recently, the Delhi Government conducted a flag-off event at Ramlila Maidan for 500 electric buses, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Nitin Nabin, National President, BJP, marking a significant milestone in the city’s transition towards clean public transport. As part of the Delhi electric bus project, GreenCell Mobility will provide 12-metre, air-conditioned electric city buses with higher battery capacities, specifically designed to meet Delhi’s operating requirements and challenging road conditions.
The buses will operate from depots at Rajghat, Dilshad Garden, and Seemapuri, strengthening commuter connectivity and enhancing the quality of public transport services across key routes in the city. Each bus is equipped with advanced operational and safety features, including an Integrated Transport Management System (ITMS), Passenger Information Systems, real-time vehicle tracking, internal and reversing cameras, and differently abled friendly infrastructure, ensuring safe, accessible and efficient mobility for all passengers.
Commenting on the deployment, Mr. Devndra Chawla, MD & CEO, GreenCell Mobility, said, “Delhi’s electric bus rollout represents the next phase of India’s public transport transition from pilots to scaled, city-wide adoption. This deployment showcases how institutional capital, policy intent and operational capability can come together to deliver clean mobility at scale. Our focus is not just on adding electric buses but on building a reliable, technology-led public transport ecosystem that cities can depend on over the long term.”
Beyond Delhi, GreenCell Mobility is executing large-scale electric city bus projects across multiple states, including 700 buses in Uttar Pradesh, 582 buses in Madhya Pradesh, 750 buses in Andhra Pradesh, 400 buses in Bihar, 150 buses in Surat, and 75 buses in Puducherry. The company also operates 50 intercity electric buses for the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC), reinforcing its presence across both urban and intercity mobility segments.
Backed by Eversource Capital, GreenCell Mobility currently operates a fleet of over 1,200 electric buses across intra-city and inter-city routes, supported by more than 270 charging stations nationwide. With projects awarded under the National E-Bus Program and the PM Seva E-Mobility Program across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, and the Union Territory of Puducherry, the company is set to scale its fleet to over 3,700 electric buses following the recent investment round.
Through its intercity brand NueGo, GreenCell Mobility operates India’s largest premium electric coach service, with a fleet of over 300 electric coaches connecting more than 100 locations nationwide. NueGo coaches offer a premium travel experience with air-conditioned, sanitised seating, free water bottles and tissues, and assisted boarding. Safety is reinforced through speed limiters, CCTV cameras, driver breath analysers, driver monitoring systems, and a rigorous 25-point pre-departure inspection covering critical mechanical and electrical systems. Each coach delivers a driving range of up to 250 km on a single charge, even under real-world traffic conditions with air conditioning in use.
Through its Electric Mobility-as-a-Service (eMaaS) model, GreenCell Mobility continues to accelerate the adoption of clean, reliable and efficient public transportation across India, partnering with governments and transport authorities to build future-ready, zero-emission mobility ecosystems.
