Last year, the government of India unveiled a transport stimulus package to provide central funding to purchase buses for urban transport systems. The ministry of urban development will provide financial assistance for purchasing public transport buses, as part of a national effort to reduce the use of private vehicles and control congestion.

Roe East, president of CWI, said: “India continues to build its world leading eco-friendly transit fleet. We are seeing orders from new customers in the region who have recognized our natural gas engines as best in class. Helping increase natural gas engine proliferation, the Indian government is getting behind the push for emission reductions with stimulus funding.”

Headquartered in Pune, India, CIL is a manufacturer of diesel and natural gas engines for power generation, industrial and automotive markets.
