NEW DELHI, MARCH 11, 2020: THE NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd (NVVN), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC, has signed an agreement with Department of Transport of Andaman & Nicobar Islands for the deployment of electric buses in the Union Territory. Under this project, the company is offering a complete transport solution, including twenty air-conditioned electric buses of nine metres each in phase 1.  Apart from deployment of electric buses, NTPC and Andaman administration are collaborating for setting up public charging infrastructure in the Island.

The agreement was signed by Mr Binay Mallik, AGM (Business Development), NVVN and Mr Navlendra Kumar Singh, Director (Transport), A&N on 04.03.2020, in the presence of Mr Mohit Bhargava, CEO, NVVN and other senior officials of NTPC and NVVN.

Introduction of electric buses in the island will go a long way in protecting the diverse ecology by completely eliminating tailpipe emission; low levels of sound from e-buses shall also significantly reduce noise pollution. Further, comfortable seating, smooth driving, GPS enabled buses are anticipated to bring in features like security and comfort for commuters. This initiative will lead to an increase in overall usage of public transport in the island.
