Pune, Maharashtra — In a bold leap toward a cleaner tomorrow, PURPLE BUS proudly announces the launch of Maharashtra’s first electric intercity bus service by a private operator, now operating on the high-demand Pune – Mumbai – Pune shuttle route—redefining how the state travels: Silently, Sustainably, and Smartly.
The newly launched fleet comprises 14 State-Of-The-Art Electric Buses, manufactured by Switch Mobility and owned and operated by PURPLE BUS. This milestone marks a decisive shift toward electric mobility, aligning with India’s broader vision of reducing emissions and building future-ready transportation ecosystems.
At present, PURPLE BUS operates a robust network of over 1500 buses across India, connecting cities and communities with reliability and scale—making this transition to electric mobility both impactful and far-reaching.
The grand launch was officiated by Hon. Minister of State for Urban Development, Madhuri Misal, who flagged off the electric fleet, signalling a new era for public and intercity transport in Maharashtra.
Driving Change, Not Emissions
Every PURPLE ELECTRIC BUS on the road is more than just a vehicle—it’s a statement. By eliminating tailpipe emissions, these buses significantly reduce carbon footprint, cut down noise pollution, and contribute to cleaner air across cities and highways.
In a country where urban pollution is an escalating concern, this initiative stands as a rolling revolution—where every kilometer traveled is a step away from fossil fuels and a stride toward ecological balance.
