Maharashtra's Green Road: MSRTC's Electrifying Transformation by 2037

Maharashtra's State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) is set to transition its entire fleet of buses to electric vehicles (EVs) by 2037, as confirmed by Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik.

This ambitious plan is part of a broader vision to ensure all vehicles in Maharashtra are electric by 2047. Currently, MSRTC operates 22,000 buses, including 800 that are already electric. The transition will occur gradually, making MSRTC the first transport corporation in the state to fully electrify its fleet.

In accordance with the Maharashtra Electric Vehicle Policy 2025, EVs enjoy 100% toll waivers on major expressways. The state also offers financial incentives and plans to develop charging infrastructure every 25 km along highways.
