Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) offered 10 electric buses to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) on Monday. The delivery marks the completion of the infrastructure giant’s commitment made on October 21, 2022, when it announced the offering of 10 electric buses to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), Andhra Pradesh, as a gesture of thanks to Lord Venkateshwara for his continuous blessings. After performing a special pooja by Vedic pandits, Olectra CMD KV Pradeep handed over the e-busses donation to TTD Chairman YV Subba Reddy and EO Dharma Reddy. Accompanied by other employees they all travelled in the buses and expressed satisfaction with the performance of the buses.
Olectra Greentech Limited manufactured these 9-metre-long 10 pure electric buses under the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives, enabling MEIL to deliver them to the shrine on time. The fleet of 10 e-buses will help speed up the TTD’s efforts to decarbonise the holy pilgrim centre, enabling the hill shrine to fight air pollution, reduce noise and tackle climate change, making it emission-free beginning today. The TTD trust appreciated MEIL for its offering. On this occasion, TTD Chairman YV Subba Reddy said, “TTD takes special care in protecting the environment on Tirumala Hills. We are working on providing noise and air pollution-free travel to Srivari devotees and keeping this in mind MEIL came forward by donating 10 e-busses which are Rs 18 crores worth to TTD.
