India-Based E-Taxi Expansions





















Punjab Expands its Sustainable E-Taxi Pilot Project
Kanesa D — May 6, 2025Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif recently led a high-level meeting to accelerate the province’s sustainable mobility efforts, with a sharp focus on modernizing public transport and reducing environmental impact. Central to the discussion were two transformative initiatives: the expansion of the Yellow Line Mass Transit System and the rollout of a pioneering eco-friendly e-taxi pilot project.
The e-taxi initiative, which received in-principle approval of its financial model during the session, aims to deploy 1,100 electric taxis in the initial phase. These vehicles will be supported by solar-powered charging infrastructure, aligning the program with Punjab’s broader clean energy and carbon reduction goals. The project is designed not only to provide efficient and accessible transport but also to serve as a model for sustainable urban development across the region.
