Mumbai: EKA Mobility has been awarded the Letter of Award (LOA) for the supply and deployment of 750 state-of-the-art electric buses across 11 cities in Andhra Pradesh. EKA Mobility has joined forces with GreenCell Mobility, India’s leading electric bus mass mobility solution provider, to execute this order. This large-scale deployment will see the rollout of both 9-meter and 12-meter fully electric buses across eleven cities in the state, including Amravati, Anantapur, Kadapa, Kakinada, Kurnool, Rajahmundry, Nellore, Guntur, Vijayawada, Vishakhapatnam, and Tirupati.
The order includes 129 nine-meter (9m) and 621 twelve-meter (12m) fully electric buses, marking a significant stride in the state’s transition to sustainable public transport. This award comes after CESL’s issuance of the Letter of Confirmation of Quantity (LOCQ) and Rajasthan’s LOA for 675 electric buses announced last week, marking a major milestone in India’s e-mobility journey.
Dr. Sudhir Mehta, Founder & Chairman of EKA Mobility & Pinnacle Industries Limited, said, “We are proud to partner with the Government of Andhra Pradesh and collaborate with GreenCell Mobility to deliver green, smart, and efficient transportation solutions for the people of the state. This partnership marks a significant step toward building smarter, more sustainable cities across India.”

This project is a major milestone in our mission to transform mass mobility through zero-emission electric buses. Together, we are enabling cleaner cities, generating green jobs, and building a more sustainable future for millions”
This order adds to EKA Mobility’s growing portfolio of large-scale public transport projects, following recent orders worth approximately ₹150 crore from the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) and approximately ₹400 crore from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC).
