Quote on Budget 2024: by Mr. Sudhakar Reddy Chirra, Founder & CEO, Fresh Bus

“Firstly, I would like to applaud the steps announced by Hon’ble Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Budget 2024. The government’s ambitious goal of expanding the EV and consolidating the ecosystem, which includes manufacturing and charging is highly admirable.

Adoption of E-vehicles will not just contribute to lower carbon emissions as well as lower cost of operation. With a strong payment protection mechanism in place, we can contribute to the changing travel landscape by offering efficient and ecologically friendly intercity bus services that match the evolving needs of our communities, therefore raising the bar. This Budget Statement reaffirms our commitment to enhancing India’s green mobility environment and represents a milestone in our shared collective pursuit of a cleaner, greener future.”
