Convergence Energy Services Ltd (CESL) has increased its electric bus order for Haryana by 450 units, bringing the total number of buses ordered to 4,054. The new order is part of CESL's ongoing efforts to expand electric mobility in the region, announced on September 17, 2026, according to livemint.com.
The addition of 450 buses follows CESL's strategy to support state governments in electrifying public transport fleets. CESL has also revised tender terms, allowing bidders to include fresh equity raised in the fiscal year 2026-27 towards their net worth, which aims to encourage more participation in the tender process. These adjustments were detailed in the latest tender updates published by CESL.
This expanded order underscores the growing push for electric vehicles in India’s public transportation sector, aligning with national goals to reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. CESL's approach to easing tender conditions could set a precedent for future electric vehicle procurement projects across other states, potentially accelerating the adoption of electric buses nationwide.
CESL’s total order of 4,054 electric buses for Haryana represents one of the largest state-level electric bus procurement initiatives in India. The company’s revised tender terms and increased order volume were reported by livemint.com on September 17, 2026.
