The group comes to an agreement, and electric buses can be deployed within six months of that accord. “It has been delayed by two months owing to Corona,” Tuladhar explained. Following the evaluation of the tender, an agreement will be reached.” The building work would be carried out in phases, according to him, as per the agreement.

According to him, the agreement states that the firm would not only buy the bus but will also repair it for five years, with a delay of a few days because the package must include the procurement of replacement parts for maintenance.
