In a key move toward sustainable public transport, Chartered Speed has deployed 10 electric buses in Arunachal Pradesh in partnership with the Arunachal Pradesh State Transport Service (APSTS). The initiative was officially flagged off by the Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein during a formal ceremony held today.
The newly launched fleet includes 9-meter, air-conditioned electric buses that will operate in Itanagar, Namsai, and Pasighat. To ensure operational efficiency, Chartered Speed has set up EV charging stations at strategic points in these cities, facilitating quick recharging and minimizing service disruptions. Sanyam Gandhi, Whole-Time Director of Chartered Speed, emphasized the company’s commitment to inclusive green mobility. “Our partnership with APSTS reflects our belief that geography should not limit access to clean transport,” he said.
A strategic node for Chartered Speed in the Northeast, is also witnessing a growing demand for eco-friendly public transport. With Assam already integrated into the company’s electric mobility roadmap, industry stakeholders in Guwahati expect further expansion in EV services to reduce pollution and improve intercity connectivity. Chartered Speed, which operates over 1,800 buses nationwide, has also secured a contract from CESL to operate 900+ electric buses across 13 cities in India.
