JBM Auto Limited registered 1,282 electric buses across Telangana, Delhi, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Assam in FY26, securing a 24% share of India's electric bus market and emerging as the country's top e-bus manufacturer by volume.

The New Delhi-based company also commands over 79% of the electric tarmac bus segment and more than 50% of the intercity luxury coach market. Its current order book stands at over 10,000 electric buses.

"FY26 has been a transformative year for us," said Nishant Arya, Vice Chairman & MD, JBM Auto Ltd. and Chairman, JBM Electric Vehicles (P) Ltd. "We are honoured to lead India's transition toward electric mobility, contributing significantly to the Hon'ble Prime Minister's vision of a carbon-neutral nation. Our emergence as the market leader in FY26 underscores JBM EV's technological edge and operational excellence."

Its portfolio spans city, intercity, luxury coach, school, staff, tarmac and special-purpose electric vehicles. The company has set a target of clocking over 3 billion e-kilometres globally within the next few years.
