The Sindh government has unveiled an ambitious plan to integrate 8,000 electric buses into Karachi’s mass transit system over three phases.

In Phase 1, 500 buses will be introduced within the first year, with 50 already operational on four major routes. Phase 2 aims to add 1,500 buses, while Phase 3 will deploy 4,000 to 6,000 buses over the next four years, alongside developing charging infrastructure, depots, and bus stations.

A solar plant with up to 1GW capacity is expected to be completed by the end of Phase 3, ensuring sustainable energy for the project.

A pilot project launched in May 2024 introduced 50 electric buses under a rent-to-own model. The Sindh Mass Transit Authority has also approved a contract with the National Energy & Transport Corporation for 100 additional buses.
