Electric Bus Project Cancelled; Belagavi to Get Diesel Buses Instead

As a result, the city will now receive diesel-operated buses to strengthen its public transport system.
Officials stated that delays in infrastructure readiness and funding issues led to the decision.
The shift aims to ensure immediate improvement in connectivity and passenger convenience.
Diesel buses are expected to be deployed faster to meet the growing transport demand.
Commuters had earlier welcomed the eco-friendly electric bus proposal with high expectations.
However, authorities assured that service efficiency remains the top priority.
The new buses will help reduce overcrowding on existing routes.
Plans for electric mobility may be reconsidered in the future under better conditions.
For now, Belagavi will move ahead with diesel buses to enhance urban transportation.
