Summary:
Preeja Prasad ByExpress News ServiceBENGALURU: Green may be a great concept, but adopting it appears to be a challenge for Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC). The BMTC has identified four depots — Hebbal, HSR Layout, Whitefield and K R Puram - which can accommodate charging stations with around 15 units to charge the vehicles. Buses will be kept for charging overnight and they are expected to run a good 200 km. The charging stations which were supposed to come up in October have also been delayed and it will take another 20 days for the tenders to be ready, sources said. Reddy, however says, “BMTC will expand charging stations to most depots in the city, but it will be in a phased manner and will take time”..
