Make 50% of buses electric within two years
“To ensure that the strength of Electric Buses is increased sharply so that within 2 years 50% of the buses are Electricity operated.”

The verdict
Missed: in September 2025, after the deadline, about one in five BMTC buses (over 1,500 of 7,000+) was electric, about 40% of the target share. No statewide figure across all four corporations was found; it is likely lower, hence low confidence.
Rule applied: Partially kept: 25–49% of the target met → 4
“Half the fleet was to go electric in two years; the charger is still at 20%.”
