The Board of Directors approved the incorporation of this new subsidiary during their meeting on September 5, 2024. The decision reflects EaseMyTrip’s commitment to expanding its business interests beyond the travel sector and tapping into the growing electric vehicle market.

EaseMyTrip’s stock performance indicates strong market confidence in this new initiative. The company’s shift towards electric bus production aligns with broader industry trends favoring sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solutions.

Earlier this year, the company made headlines when it temporarily suspended flight bookings to the Maldives. This decision followed a boycott movement triggered by controversial remarks made by Maldivian officials about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The company’s latest move into electric bus manufacturing demonstrates its adaptive strategy and ambition to explore new growth avenues beyond its core travel services.
