Taking a step forward with a strong commitment to a cleaner and greener future, MEIL Foundation, the CSR arm of Megha Engineering & Infrastructure Limited, has donated two state-of-the-art Olectra 7-metre electric buses to AIIMS & Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple at Mangalagiri in Andhra Pradesh as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. These eco-friendly buses were formally handed over by Mr. K.V. Pradeep, Chairman & Managing Director, Olectra Greentech Limited.
The inauguration ceremony was made even more special with the presence of Shri. Nara Lokesh, Minister of IT, Andhra Pradesh, who, along with other dignitaries, flagged off the buses.
These advanced electric buses are designed to make travel comfortable, safe, and efficient. Each bus can accommodate 18 passengers and can run 150 km on a single charge. They come with digital instrument panels, Electronic Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS), real-time Vehicle Tracking Systems (VTS), and Reverse Park Assist Systems (RPAS) for enhanced safety. Passengers can also enjoy USB charging ports and air-conditioned interiors for a pleasant journey.
Olectra Greentech Limited, a trendsetter in electric mobility, has been leading India’s transition to clean and sustainable public transport. The company has already delivered over 2,500 electric buses, covering more than 30 crore kilometres and reducing CO₂ emissions by over 2.7 lakh tons, which is equivalent to planting 1.24 crore trees!
At the event, Mr. KV Pradeep expressed Olectra’s commitment to sustainability, saying:
"We are proud to support AIIMS & Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Mangalagiri, through this CSR initiative. These buses will not only provide an efficient transport solution but also help in creating a cleaner, greener Andhra Pradesh. Olectra remains dedicated to revolutionizing public transport and building a sustainable future for India."
With this initiative, Olectra and MEIL Foundation continue their mission to create a world where transportation is not just efficient, but also kind to our planet.
