Switch Mobility, part of the Hinduja Group, delivered 100 electric buses to the Government of Mauritius, marking a milestone in India–Mauritius collaboration on sustainable public transport.

This delivery represents the largest export of Indian electric buses to date and is provided as a government-to-government grant to support Mauritius’ transition to clean and modern public transportation.

The buses are a government-to-government donation from India aimed at promoting clean mobility and sustainable urban transport in Mauritius.

The buses use floor-mounted lithium iron phosphate batteries with a rear dual-gun charging interface to enable faster charging and efficient depot operations.

Based on the SWITCH EiV12, the buses are designed for urban transit efficiency and passenger comfort, with a capacity of up to 45 passengers and equipped with SWITCH iON telematics for real-time monitoring.

The EiV12 buses feature iON telematics for real-time health monitoring, transport management, and fleet optimization, along with floor-mounted LFP batteries and a rear dual-gun charging interface for faster turnover.

Each EiV12 bus seats up to 45 passengers and meets standards for performance, safety, durability, and reliability for modern urban commutes.

This export aligns with Mauritius’ environmental and urban development goals and highlights SWITCH Mobility’s global market expansion, with 2,400 e-buses and over 150 million kilometres deployed to date.

The deployment supports Mauritius’ decarbonisation and transport-efficiency objectives while expanding SWITCH Mobility’s international presence in electric mobility markets.

The buses were procured through an open tender by Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL) in India and are operated in Mauritius by the National Transport Corporation (NTC).

The final batch of 90 buses was handed over during a high-level bilateral engagement, with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar presenting them to Mauritius’ Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam.

Mauritius’ progress toward a sustainable public transport ecosystem was highlighted, emphasizing emissions reduction, urban mobility improvements, and commuter experience as key milestones in Switch Mobility’s global expansion.
