Replying to supplementary queries during Question Hour, Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had, on August 16, 2023, announced the PM e-Bus Sewa scheme to provide mobility in smaller cities and tackle rising pollution.

The minister said states were told to give their demands, and a selection criterion was laid down, and buses were sanctioned on the recommendations of coordination committees.
