The Bus Insider — January 2026 Issue Is Here!

We’re back with the latest edition of The Bus Insider — a deep dive into the forces reshaping India’s bus ecosystem at a critical moment.

This month’s issue turns the spotlight on bus safety and regulation, as new bus body norms redraw the rules of the industry. From the government’s push to allow only OEMs and certified builders to the ripple effects on traditional bus body builders across the country, we unpack what these changes really mean on the ground.

Through detailed reporting, industry voices, and policy analysis, we explore the realities behind compliance costs, capacity challenges, and the risk of sidelining a vast employment-generating ecosystem. We also feature exclusive insights from leading manufacturers, operators, and certified builders navigating this transition.

Clear-eyed, data-backed, and unapologetically grounded, this issue examines how India can build safer buses without breaking the industry that builds them.
