Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Odisha has secured the fifth position in India for electric bus adoption, currently operating 450 e-buses as part of its clean transport initiative. The state has ambitious plans to expand its fleet to more than 1,000 buses, strengthening its role as a green mobility leader in Eastern India. With urban operations already running in Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and Puri, Odisha plans to extend services to cities such as Sambalpur, Jharsuguda, Keonjhar, Berhampur, and Angul. The initiative is supported by modern infrastructure, including charging stations and smart ticketing systems, aligning with India’s broader push toward sustainable urban transportation.
