MEIL has announced to donate 10 electric buses to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) in Andhra Pradesh.
Hyderabad: On the occasion of Diwali, as a gesture of thanks to Lord Venkateshwara for his continuous blessings, city-based infra major Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd (MEIL) has announced to donate 10 electric buses to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) in Andhra Pradesh. MEIL's subsidiary Olectra Greentech Ltd manufactures and supplies these e-buses under the Government of India's 'Make in India initiative.
These 10 eco-friendly zero-emission e-buses will ply on the Ghat roads of Tirumala, taking pilgrims to the Tirumala Venkateshwara Swamy Temple and other historic temples in the area. This fleet of e-buses by the MEIL, will help speed up the TTD's efforts to decarbonise the holy pilgrim centre, as they will help combat air pollution, reduce noise and tackle climate change in the 'Spiritual Capital' of AP.
In addition, as crude prices remain turbulent due to global events, these zero-emission buses are economical and their life span is longer than the fossil fuel buses. These e-buses are crucial to a sustainable future in the seven hills of Tirumala. KV Pradeep, CMD of Olectra Greentech Ltd, met TTD Chairman YV Subba Reddy at the Annamayya Bhavan.
He handed-over a letter written by MEIL's Managing Director PV Krishna Reddy which said, "This is a small gesture from the MEIL and Olectra to the Lord. It is our way of saying thank you to Lord Venkateshwara for blessing us abundantly for the last 32 years of our journey. We seek his continuous blessings in our future endeavours and growth."
