Quick Takeaways
- India advances domestic electric bus manufacturing with a phased, capacity-led production ramp-up.
- Olectra Greentech activates Phase I operations, signaling scalable EV bus output aligned to market demand.
On January 1, 2026, Olectra Greentech Limited confirmed the start of Phase I commercial operations at its newly developed electric vehicle manufacturing facility in Seetharampur, Hyderabad, Telangana. The company has formally declared December 31, 2025, as the Commercial Operation Date for the plant and has communicated this milestone to its lending partner, State Bank of India.
Phase I capacity of the EV bus manufacturing facility
The initial phase of the EV bus manufacturing facility is designed to deliver an annual per-shift production capacity of 2,500 electric buses. This output accounts for half of the plant’s targeted per-shift capacity, highlighting a calibrated and phased approach to scaling manufacturing operations while maintaining quality and operational efficiency.
Roadmap toward full-scale electric bus production
Once fully ramped up, the facility is planned to achieve a per-shift annual capacity of 5,000 electric buses. The phased commissioning strategy allows Olectra Greentech to align production growth with market demand, supply chain readiness, and workforce expansion, while optimizing capital deployment across different stages of the project.
Strengthening domestic EV manufacturing capabilities
The commissioning of this EV bus manufacturing facility reinforces India’s growing focus on domestic electric mobility production. By expanding localized manufacturing infrastructure, the facility is expected to support cleaner public transportation adoption, reduce reliance on imports, and contribute to the development of a robust electric bus ecosystem in the country.
