Indian cities are pursuing ambitious electric bus deployment targets to reduce the emissions and improve efficiency of transport systems. Some cities have already initiated electric bus roll-out through the FAME I scheme, while many others are at different stages of planning and implementation. However, cities are facing challenges in identifying context specific solutions on the vehicle technology alternatives, incentive schemes and procurement models for electric buses.

Key takeaways from the second training programme on FAME II conducted on July 8 and 9, 2019 are presented in this document as recommendations to FAME II at the National level and to inform deployment at the State and City levels.
