Busworld India Conclave 2026 successfully concluded on April 28, 2026, at Amaltas Hall, Yashobhoomi (IICC), New Delhi, bringing together key stakeholders from across India’s bus and coach ecosystem. Organised by Busworld, the one-day conclave served as a high-impact platform for discussions on future mobility, electrification, and industry transformation.
The conference featured a comprehensive agenda covering critical themes shaping the sector. Sessions began with discussions on moving beyond diesel, followed by a roundtable with next-generation OEMs and an inauguration and plenary session. Post-lunch discussions focused on bus operators’ perspectives, next-generation coach development, and the importance of safety, standards, and skill development. A key highlight was the session on localising the EV supply chain, reflecting India’s growing push toward sustainable and self-reliant mobility solutions.
Addressing the conclave, Nitin Gadkari emphasised that India must align its transport systems with global benchmarks to deliver safe, efficient, and comfortable travel experiences. He noted a shift in the sector’s focus from cost to quality and comfort, driven by rapid infrastructure development. Highlighting progress, he stated that travel time between Delhi and Dehradun has reduced from 8-9 hours to around two hours due to improved highways. He also informed that 36 green express highways are being developed to promote faster, safer, and environmentally sustainable transport.
The event also witnessed the presence of Shri TG Bharath, Minister of Industries, Commerce and Food Processing, Andhra Pradesh, and Didier Vanderhasselt, reflecting strong government and international participation.
