"Our Mission is Not Just About Transportation; It's About Empowerment"

DR. AANCHAL JAIN CEO, PMI Electro Mobility Solutions Pvt Ltd

How are you redefining the automotive landscape? We have embarked on our journey seven years ago with a vision to contribute to the country's green public mobility initiatives. As a true electric bus (eBus) manufacturer, we transitioned from traditional bus manufacturing to electric buses. With approximately 1,300 eBuses already traversing the nation's roads, PMI is at the forefront of this transformation. As the demand for eco-friendly transportation continues to surge, we are actively responding by expanding our fleet, with an order book of about 3,000 eBuses.
