SWITCH Mobility, the electric mobility arm of the Hinduja Group, has completed the delivery of 100 electric buses to the Government of Mauritius, marking what the company describes as the largest electric bus export from India to date.
The final batch of 90 buses was handed over during a formal ceremony attended by S. Jaishankar, who transferred custody of the vehicles to Navinchandra Ramgoolam. Senior officials from both nations were present at the event, highlighting the diplomatic importance of the initiative.
The buses have been supplied as part of a Government of India donation to Mauritius under a government-to-government arrangement. Procurement was conducted through an open tender managed by Convergence Energy Services Limited, while operational responsibilities will be handled by the National Transport Corporation.
Vehicle Specifications and Features
The deployment includes the SWITCH EiV12 model, which accommodates up to 45 passengers. The buses are equipped with floor-mounted lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs designed to improve stability by lowering the vehicle’s centre of gravity.
Each bus features a rear dual-gun charging interface aimed at reducing charging and turnaround times at depots. Additionally, the vehicles integrate SWITCH Mobility’s proprietary SWITCH iON, enabling real-time vehicle diagnostics, monitoring, and fleet management.
According to the company, the buses are built to meet international standards in safety, performance, and durability, supporting reliable public transportation operations.
Supporting Mauritius’ Electric Mobility Transition
The initiative forms part of a broader collaboration between India and Mauritius to reduce transport-related emissions and modernise public transit infrastructure. For SWITCH Mobility, the delivery also represents a key milestone in its global expansion strategy.
Ganesh Mani, CEO of SWITCH Mobility, stated that the deployment reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting Mauritius in accelerating its transition to sustainable mobility and building a cleaner public transport ecosystem.
SWITCH Mobility reports that it has deployed more than 2,400 electric buses globally, collectively covering over 150 million kilometres of operations since the company’s inception.
