The expansion of the existing facility is also planned to cater to the bus project which will generate job opportunities within the Haryana region.

JBM Motors Ltd., part of the $1.2 billion JBM Group, is poised to invest up to Rs 500cr in setting up a bus plant and R&D center in Faridabad, Haryana to manufacture world‐class low‐floor city buses, CITYLIFE. The bus has exclusively been designed for city travel with world-class features and amenities. The group also plans to undertake expansion in one of its existing facilities in the region. Once commissioned, the plant will generate employment for workers in the Haryana region. At peak capacity, the plant will manufacture 2,000 buses annually.

Elaborating on the development, Nishant Arya, Executive Director, JBM Group said, “We are happy to announce the new plant and the expansion in the existing plant in the Faridabad region of Haryana and extend our sincere gratitude to the support extended to us by the State Govt. The upcoming plant shall demonstrate the best in class technology along with all modern shop floor work processes being followed across the globe”.

With technical know-how from renowned European bus manufacturer BredaMenarinibus, the bus has been designed ideally for Indian traffic and weather conditions. Our unique features include a monocoque frame for maximum strength and minimum weight, Independent Front Suspension, Complete Low floor, European safety standards in case of front/side collision and rollover accidents, automatic valve close in case of CNG leakage. Another safety feature (especially for women) is the larger window size that enables higher interior visibility at eye level to people from outside. The company aims to market the bus to all major transport authorities in India.
