Sustainable Electric Transport in Pokhara-Bharatpur Highway
Phase I of this project has already been approved by MT for core funding of USD 56,174 for 2023.The overall goal of this project is to solidify, extend, and strengthen implementation of low emission transport systems in intracity route within Pokhara Metropolitan City (PMC) and Bharatpur Metropolitan City (BMC), as well as intercity connecting the two metropolitan cities to ensure strong impact results and resource mobilization opportunities. The total project investment is estimated at USD 30 million assuming deployment of 130 electric buses (at approx. USD 200,000 per bus), i.e., a 10% replacement of diesel buses in operation currently in Pokhara and Bharatpur. The planned feasibility study will produce more accurate cost estimates. Also, USD 4 million will be required for technical assistance to support capacity building of all relevant stakeholders, conducting M&E, liaising with local governments for policy development, liaising with private transport operators for route aggregation, if required, etc.
