Joint finance mechanism

The fund, comprising $240 million from India and $150 million from the US, will assure manufacturers seeking loans for increased production.

Addressing production lulls

India's "transportation as service" model previously lowered e-bus costs but led to production lulls and long-term debt.

Reducing investment risks

In contrast to the previous model, the new mechanism aims to reduce manufacturers' risks when accessing finance for investments.

Climate change commitment

This initiative highlights India and the US's commitment to tackling climate change and promoting sustainable transportation.
