GreenCell Mobility, the electric mobility solutions provider, has announced that the Director of Urban Transport selected Greencell Mobility as a partner to deploy 150 intra-city electric buses to Ayodhya for the momentous Ram Mandir consecration ceremony. The ceremony is scheduled for 22nd January.

This fleet will play a crucial role in providing intra-city transportation service to an estimated 2 million devotees within Ayodhya from mid-January to the end of February, including the day of the ceremony and the surrounding days, marking a significant period for pilgrims and visitors.

Greenwell Mobility expects over 25 million devotees to visit the city by March ’24, making Ayodhya an eco-friendly tourist hub! Using these 150 electric buses could reduce carbon footprint by avoiding approximately 600 tonnes of tailpipe emissions per month. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath flagged these buses off in Ayodhya on 14 January ’24.

Devndra Chawla, CEO & MD of GreenCell Mobility, stated, “We are humbled and excited to be part of Ayodhya becoming an eco-friendly tourist hub, as we deploy our buses in the city. Our mission has always been to promote sustainable transportation solutions, and the government’s decision to utilize electric buses for this grand occasion aligns perfectly with our vision. It’s not just about ferrying passengers; it’s about being a part of a collective journey towards a cleaner and greener future.”

The use of electric buses during this event is a significant step towards promoting electric mobility in India and showcasing the practicality and efficiency of electric buses in managing large-scale public transport needs, especially during such significant cultural and religious events. At SaurEnergy, we have consistently argued for electrification of the transport around key historical monuments in particular, since these tend to be more sensitive to pollution in any case.

GreenCell Mobility claims to have deployed over 700 buses in UP, saving over 22,000 tonnes of tailpipe emissions annually. With these 150 buses in Ayodhya, GreenCell Mobility is looking forward to further strengthening the brand’s partnership with the state and helping to achieve its goals of electrifying public transport.
