Powering India’s Green Mobility Revolution - A Nationwide Impact
PMI is among the Leading Electric Bus OEM and has presence in 31 cities across India, PMI’s fleet of 2,800+ electric buses collectively travels over 220,000 kilometers every day. This effort has already prevented more than 350,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions, underscoring PMI’s commitment to a cleaner, greener, and smarter future for all.
PMI Saw the Gap – An Affordable Electric Bus That Truly Fits the Bill
At PMI Electro Mobility, we believe that every child deserves a ride that’s as safe, smart, and caring as the people waiting at the school gate.
Electric buses have so far remained high-priced, making it difficult to justify the upfront investment for applications like school transport, where daily running distances are relatively low.
So, we decided to rethink the idea of a school bus from the ground up. We listened to schools, drivers, and parents, and understood that school routes are shorter, predictable, and require a different kind of efficiency. That insight inspired us to invest deeply in research and design, creating a bus that’s low on cost, high on efficiency, and built around safety.
The result is the PMI Electric School Bus — thoughtfully engineered to meet real needs, protect every young passenger, and make the shift to green mobility easier and more affordable for schools everywhere. Because for us, innovation isn’t just about technology — it’s about care, responsibility, and ensuring every journey to school is a safe, sustainable one.
PMI’s Electric School bus - Smart Technology Meets Smarter Economics.
PMI’s electric buses are not only environmentally friendly—they’re financially smarter with significantly lower running costs and minimal maintenance requirements.
PMI delivers one of the lowest total costs of ownership (TCO) in the industry.
• The upfront cost of a PMI electric school bus is only 20–30% higher than traditional Diesel or CNG models.
Compared to conventional fleets, PMI’s electric solutions offer:
