New Delhi | July 23, 2026. A significant meeting of the Standing Committee on Urban Development and Housing was concluded on Thursday at Committee Room 'B' of the Parliamentary Annexe in New Delhi. Rajya Sabha MP Mrs. Maya Narolia also participated in this meeting, discussing the progress of the central government's ambitious PM-e Bus Service scheme.

The primary agenda of the meeting was a detailed review of the implementation of the PM-e Bus Service scheme. Committee members engaged in in-depth deliberations on various aspects of the scheme and presented valuable suggestions for its effective execution. The objective of this scheme is to establish pollution-free, modern, and accessible public transportation systems in India's urban areas.

Scheme's Objective and Significance Discussed

Members present were apprised of the fact that the PM-e Bus Service scheme has been implemented with the aim of promoting a clean and sustainable transportation system. Its goal is not only to protect the environment from pollution but also to provide citizens with better and modern public transport facilities. This is a significant initiative by the central government, striving to give a new dimension to urban mobility.

The scheme focuses on the operation of electric buses, which generate significantly less pollution compared to traditional fossil fuel-powered buses. This is expected to improve urban air quality while offering passengers a more comfortable and efficient travel experience. The committee also discussed the financial aspects of the scheme and the development of the necessary infrastructure.
