October 8: The Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport has finalized the specifications required for the purchase 300 electric buses. Although the budget for the current fiscal year has not allocated any amount under this particular head, the ministry has decided to issue a tender for purchasing the buses.
The government had decided to purchase electric buses for operation in Kathmandu Valley on December 18, 2018. Prior to this, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli had inaugurated five electric buses that were purchased by the Ministry of Tourism with the financial assistance of Asian Development Bank. The BYD buses that were inaugurated by KP Oli were later stalled due to a dispute.
The government had claimed to operate electric buses in Kathmandu Valley from April 14, 2019 and had allocated budget for this purpose the same year.
A cabinet decision in June announced that the government-owned Sajha Yatayat would be given Rs 3 billion. However, after three months, a letter was written to Sajha to stop the procurement process, alleging that the bus could not be purchased on time.
The government had decided to hand over the responsibility of purchasing the bus to the ministry by withdrawing the amount given to Sajha in mid-January. However, even after eight months after the decision was made, the ministry has not been able to purchase the bus.
The ministry had formed a committee to finalize the specifications under the leadership of Joint Secretary Pramila Bajracharya.
Shankar Singh Dhami, a member of the committee and chief of the transport management section of the ministry, said that the tender process has already started as the work of finalizing the specifications has been completed. The ministry had decided to open the tender before Dashain. However, the ministry said that the process was postponed after a staff of the ministry tested positive for coronavirus.
