Olectra has been chosen as the lowest bidder to supply 327 electric buses to the Himachal Pradesh Road Transport Corporation (HRTC).
HRTC first started using electric buses in September 2017. The initial phase included a bus service between Kullu, Manali, and Rohtang Pass.
At that time, Olectra supplied 25 electric buses for this route. This service was special because it was the first in the world to run electric buses at an altitude of 13,000 feet along the Manali-Rohtang highway.
