Global investment firm KKR is investing up to $310 million to build and scale an India-focused electric bus (e-bus) platform through a strategic partnership with PMI Electro Mobility Solutions (India) and its fleet operator Allfleet (India). As part of the deal, KKR will acquire a majority stake in Allfleet, which focuses on deploying and operating large-scale electric bus fleets, while also taking a minority stake in PMI Electro, a manufacturer of electric commercial vehicles. The investment aims to accelerate the adoption of clean public transportation across Indian cities, supporting large-scale deployment of e-buses under government-led initiatives such as the PM-eBus Sewa programme, which targets 10,000 electric buses nationwide. PMI Electro manufactures multiple types of electric buses, including 9-meter and 12-meter city buses and school buses, while Allfleet is expected to deploy over 5,000 e-buses through partnerships with public transport authorities. This marks KKR’s first major climate-focused investment in India, highlighting growing global investor interest in sustainable mobility and green infrastructure in emerging markets. Strong cross-border capital flow (US → India) into clean-tech infrastructure Growing opportunities for European startups in EV tech, batteries, charging infrastructure, and smart mobility to collaborate with Indian platforms Expansion of climate-tech ecosystems, where India serves as a large-scale deployment market and Europe as a deep-tech innovation hub A clear shift toward sustainable urban infrastructure, opening doors for partnerships in AI-driven transport systems, fleet management, and energy optimization
