Tripura Gramin Bank introduced India’s first fully solar-powered ATM van, named ‘TGB on Wheels’, in January 2026. This innovative mobile banking solution provides uninterrupted ATM and basic banking services to rural and remote areas, especially where electricity supply is unreliable. The initiative, supported by NABARD, aligns with India’s sustainability goals by eliminating dependence on grid electricity or diesel generators. By combining financial inclusion with eco-friendly technology, the solar-powered ATM van enhances accessibility, reliability, and convenience for rural communities while promoting green banking practices and cost-efficient service delivery.
