Karachi BRT Red Line Electric Bus and Biogas Plant Project

planned

The Sindh government revised the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Red Line project by replacing hybrid buses with electric vehicles (EVs). The project includes the development of a biogas plant, which will now supply gas to the industrial sector instead of public transport. The government will provide land, charging infrastructure, and depot space for 500 EV buses operating on BRT routes across Karachi. Feasibility studies are ongoing, and tenders are expected next month. The project is backed by the Asian Development Bank and has faced delays and increased costs due to currency fluctuations and rising construction expenses.
