Dear Sir,
At the outset, many thanks for acknowledging my email – and
requesting the decision-makers to consider my suggestion of “wet leasing “ the
electric buses [ strictly on “ per km “ basis ] , instead of
outright purchase
Here is one more reason to opt for “ wet leasing “ { as done by
Hyderabad Municipality } :
You will need to replace the Lithium-ion battery every
alternate year
And the replacement cost would be around Rs 60 lakhs !
That would push up the operating cost ( if you were to own the
bus )
Regards,
Hemen Parekh

Dear Shri
Gehlotji,
I just read the
news that you have floated a tender for purchase of 375 electric buses
This will be the
first lot out of a total of 1,000 planned
While
congratulating on this pollution-reducing initiative, I urge you to modify
the tender for “ Wet Leasing “ of the buses , instead of outright buying
A wet leasing has
following advantages :
# No
up-front need for a large capital outlay
# Operating
cost per km can come down drastically
And , if your wet
lease is on a tariff which is on “ per km “ basis ( rather than “ per day” or
“ per month “ basis ) , then the onus to keep the buses running all the time,
will shift on the bus supplier !
Under this
scenario, supplier will ensure that there is no idling of the buses due to :
#
non-availability of the drivers
#
non-availability of essential spare parts
# Bus
battery being drained out and hours needed to charge it ( Supplier will
ensure
that he sets up a vast network of battery charging stations ! )
In this
connection, I request you to look up :
Thank You , Shri Jaitleyji,
EESL : It is your move now !
Highlight :
In the case of outright
purchase, the Centre provides 60 per cent subsidy and the rest is provided by
the State road transport corporations.
With most of the RTCs under
financial stress, they are looking at GCC, where
the buses would be operated and maintained by the supplier at a fixed cost
per km.
The Bangalore Metropolitan
Transport Corporation (BMTC) has finalised Goldstone-BYD, where six others
were in fray, for 40 buses, where the corporation will
pay ₹37.5 per km.
