With an order book of nearly 10,000–11,000 buses and manufacturing capacity of 20,000 units annually, JBM Group is positioning itself for the next phase of India’s electric bus transition while also sharpening its global ambitions.
New Delhi, June 2026 — JBM Auto has emerged as India’s largest electric bus manufacturer, commanding around 24–25% market share in FY26. The company is now leveraging its massive scale, integrated technology ecosystem, and export focus to maintain leadership amid intensifying competition in the world’s fastest-growing electric bus market.
JBM operates one of the largest dedicated integrated electric bus manufacturing facilities outside China, located in the Delhi-NCR region. With an annual production capacity of 20,000 units, the plant currently runs at roughly 15% utilization, giving the company significant headroom to ramp up deliveries quickly.
This scale advantage is critical as India pushes toward higher electric bus adoption under schemes like PM e-Bus Sewa. JBM’s robust order book — currently exceeding 10,000–11,000 electric buses — provides strong revenue visibility, with the company targeting ₹6,500 crore in revenue for FY26.
A key pillar of JBM’s strategy is its emphasis on ultra-fast charging and complete e-mobility solutions. The company’s JBM E-Verse ecosystem includes in-house battery technology, advanced thermal management, and high-power DC fast chargers (supporting 250–400 kWh battery packs). This enables buses to achieve rapid turnaround times, minimizing downtime for fleet operators.
Recent launches, including the ECO-LIFE e9 and e12 series, feature improved efficiency, better range, and compliance with global standards such as R155 & R156 cybersecurity — positioning JBM buses for both domestic and international markets.
Beyond India, JBM is actively expanding its international footprint. The company has unveiled new electric bus models tailored for Europe and other global markets, with plans to export its “Think Global, Act Local” solutions. It has already showcased vehicles at major events like Busworld 2025 in Brussels and is targeting markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
JBM aims to deliver over 3 billion electric kilometers and serve 20 billion passengers globally in the coming years, building on more than 200 million e-kilometers already completed in India.
In FY26, JBM registered 1,282 electric buses, securing dominant shares in segments such as electric tarmac buses (79%) and intercity luxury coaches (over 50%). The company continues to win large orders under government schemes while expanding into private segments like staff buses, school buses, and luxury intercity coaches.
Nishant Arya, Vice Chairman of JBM Group, has emphasized that the combination of a strong order book and unmatched capacity will help the company retain its No.1 position as India targets 60% electric bus penetration by 2030.
As competition from other Indian and global players intensifies, JBM’s bet on scale, vertical integration, fast charging, and exports appears well-placed. The company’s ability to offer competitive total cost of ownership (TCO), localized manufacturing, and comprehensive charging infrastructure gives it a strong edge in both public and private fleet tenders. With a solid foundation in India and growing global ambitions, JBM is well-positioned to play a leading role in the country’s — and potentially the world’s — electric bus revolution.
