Double-decker buses have returned to the streets of Hyderabad after two decades. On February 8, 2023, the Telangana Government inaugurated three of the proposed six electric double-decker buses, which will be predominantly used around the race track during the Formula E-prix, which is scheduled to take place on February 11. The buses were delivered following an order by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) on instructions from Telangana Minister KTR.
The remaining three buses are expected soon and HMDA plans to extend the fleet up to 20 buses, each costing ₹2.16 crore with an annual maintenance contract for seven years. These electric double-decker buses will cover the Tank Bund, Necklace Road, Paradise, and Nizam College stretch during the race week.
