In an interview with Nitin Kumar, Arya outlines how JBM’s integrated EV strategy, a robust order book of 10,000 e-buses, and a manufacturing capacity of 20,000 units will help the company retain its top position. He says JBM Auto is on track to meet its FY26 revenue guidance.Excerpts:

How was FY26 for JBM and what are your growth plans for the next 3-5 years?

In FY26, including Telangana sales, JBM became the largest e-bus player with over 25% market share. Looking ahead, our focus is to not just retain the No.1 position but further expand our market share as the segment grows.

How do you plan to achieve this growth?
