In the city, electric buses without connections to the MMTS or Metro rail will be run by the telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC). The objective is to deploy these buses in various locations, with an emphasis on the IT Corridor, that are unconnected to mass transit systems.

The Greater hyderabad (GH) zone officials have already decided to operate some of these buses on routes covering secunderabad Cantonment and miyapur depot to start with. Electric buses are also planned on the route covering secunderabad – Punjagutta – jubilee hills check post – film nagar – Osmania Colony and Manikonda.

Likewise, the electric buses will also operate from the secunderabad Cantonment depot to various places including Jubilee bus Station, secunderabad, Tarnaka, Uppal, LB nagar and Ibrahimpatnam which are home for many offices, commercial places and educational institutions.

The buses which are assigned to the miyapur bus depot will operate on the route covering bachupally – JNTU – KPHB – Hitec City – Bio-diversity – Gachibowli – Wave Rock – pragathi Nagar – JNTU and VBIT.

“The buses are equipped with vehicle tracking system and they will be connected with the vehicle tracking app and the depot. We will ensure that the buses are operated on a 30-minute frequency,” said a senior TSRTC official.
