The Maharashtra State Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has issued a notice to contractor company Evey Trans Pvt Ltd for failing to supply 5,150 buses within the given deadline.
In the notice, MSRTC chairman IAS Sanjay Sethi has issued an ultimatum to the company, stating that the contract will be cancelled if at least 1,287 buses are not supplied by May 22.
The ST Corporation signed a contract with Evey on November 2, 2023, for the supply of electric buses. According to the contract, the company was supposed to supply 1,935 buses by January 2025 and a total of 5,150 buses within 24 months — by June 2026.
However, the company has only supplied 220 buses so far. Despite repeated correspondence with the company, no significant action has been taken, leading the corporation to issue the notice.
In addition to supplying the buses, the company is also required to establish charging stations, which it has failed to do. The delays are affecting the daily income of the corporation, and the company is held responsible for the losses, as per the MSRTC.
