Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Kader said the Bangladesh government has requested India to supply 100 electric buses for use in Dhaka and Chattogram this year.
The request was made when India’s Deputy High Commissioner to Bangladesh Dr. Binoy Geogre met Minister Obaidul Quader at his office on 19 February 2023.
Also discussed was the purchase of 300 electric double decker AC buses for Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) under the Indian Line of Credit (LoC).
Bangladesh is working to formulate a policy for the registration and movement of electric vehicles in the country with the aim of reducing carbon emissions by 2030.
This month the policy will be sent to the cabinet for approval.
