The project was funded under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative of the Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCI). The procurement was facilitated through a tender floated by AIIMS on the Government of India’s Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal), where EKA Mobility secured the order via a reverse auction.
These buses come with a 23+1 seating configuration, featuring pushback seats for enhanced passenger comfort, a wheelchair and a hydraulic lift to ensure seamless access for differently-abled passengers, making transport more inclusive and accessible.
The initiative was flagged off by RK Tyagi, Chairman and Managing Director (MD), PGCI and Dr M Srinivas, Director, AIIMS, in the presence of senior dignitaries including Yatindra Dwivedi, Director (Personnel); Vikram Singh Bhal, Executive Director, CMG; Jasbir Singh, Executive Director, CSR and Alok Kumar Sharma, Executive Director, NR-I, among other senior officials from PGCI and AIIMS.
Speaking in this regard, Rohit Srivastava, Business Head and Chief Growth Officer, EKA Mobility, said, “We are proud to partner with AIIMS and PGCI to deliver these advanced buses that combine comfort, safety and accessibility. This initiative reflects our shared commitment to sustainable and inclusive mobility for all.”
These buses will serve as a safe, sustainable and efficient last-mile mobility solution at AIIMS, making daily commutes easier for patients, staff and visitors, while ensuring differently-abled individuals can travel with dignity and ease.
