Meanwhile, on 24 February 2023, the company announced that it has developed a Hydrogen bus with its technology partner, Reliance. The Hydrogen bus is a fully carbon-free alternative to traditional public transportation. In the wake of the depletion of natural resources and the negative impacts of air pollution and emissions, Olectra has taken the initiative to accelerate the development of Hydrogen-powered buses.

The hydrogen buses generate only water as tailpipe emissions. This is the unique selling proposition for phasing out old diesel and petrol systems and replacing them with these green buses, said the company. Type-4 hydrogen cylinders are established on the top of the bus. The cylinders can withstand temperatures between - 20 and +85 degrees Celsius.

Olectra Greentech, part of the MEIL Group, is engaged in manufacturing electric buses in India. It is also India's largest Silicone Rubber/Composite Insulators manufacturer for power transmission and distribution networks.

On a consolidated basis, the company's net profit rose 13.6% to Rs 14.38 crore on 23.1% jump in net sales to Rs 256.43 crore in Q3 FY23 over Q3 FY22.
