“With the addition of new electric buses, Ambala’s local transport has become more environment-friendly and commuter-friendly” – Transport Minister Anil Vij

Chandigarh, 3 November 2025

Haryana Transport Minister Sh. Anil Vij today said that the addition of five new air-conditioned electric buses (e-buses) to the Ambala city’s local routes, further strengthening the region’s green public transport network. With this, the total number of electric buses in Ambala has risen to 15, marking a significant step towards sustainable and comfortable urban mobility.

Sh. Vij said that the newly introduced AC e-buses have been allotted to the Ambala Roadways Depot and will soon operate on various local routes. “These buses will provide a comfortable, convenient, and eco-friendly travel experience to passengers. Just like in major metropolitan cities, Ambala’s local bus service is now transitioning toward a fully air-conditioned electric fleet,” he stated.

23 Modern Bus Queue Shelters Under Construction

To enhance passenger convenience, 23 new modern bus queue shelters are being constructed along Ambala’s local routes. Each shelter will feature seating arrangements, lighting, and fans to ensure comfort for commuters while they wait for buses.

Vij added that the initiative aims to ensure that passengers no longer have to wait in discomfort for local buses. The shelters are being developed at key locations such as Capital Chowk, Chungi Chowk, Tundla, Defence Colony, Kalrahedi, Shastri Colony, DRM Office, Sundar Nagar, Chandpuri Colony, Machonda, Shahpur, Civil Hospital (Ambala Cantt), Subhash Park, BD Floor Mill, Hathi Khana Mandir, Rangia Mandi Chowk, Nanheda, SD College, Mahesh Nagar, Tangri Bandh Road, Babyal, Dalipgarh, and Boh.

Local Bus Service relaunched After 25 Years, Thanks to Vij’s Efforts

Due to the persistent efforts of Transport Minister Anil Vij, Ambala’s local bus service was revived after nearly 25 years. The service was relaunched on November 1 last year with 10 mini-buses. Subsequently, five AC electric buses were introduced on January 26 (Republic Day), followed by five more on June 5, 2025 (World Environment Day). With today’s addition of another five e-buses, the total has now reached 15 electric AC buses operating on city routes.
