Allfleet India: Integrated, End-to-End Solution
As India accelerates its transition toward decarbonization and cleaner urban mobility, the need to scale efficient and reliable electric public transport infrastructure is becoming increasingly critical.
KKR’s investment will support Allfleet’s continued expansion and enhance its ability to collaborate with public transport authorities to deploy e-bus fleets across major cities, contributing to cleaner and more dependable public transport for commuters.
This initiative builds on an integrated, end-to-end solution enabled by the partnership between Allfleet and PMI Electro, spanning manufacturing, ownership, operations, and lifecycle support. PMI Electro is recognized as an early mover in India’s e-bus segment.
Neil Arora, Partner and Head of KKR’s Climate Transition strategy for Asia Pacific, said: “Transport electrification is a critical pillar of the energy transition, and India – with its scale, urbanization trends, and decarbonization ambitions – represents one of the most significant opportunities for the sector globally.
The differentiated combination of Allfleet’s proven, scalable platform and PMI’s manufacturing and service expertise stands out as a full-service solution in this market. We look forward to supporting Allfleet’s next phase of growth by working together with PMI and leveraging KKR’s global operational expertise and experience investing across climate transition.”

PMI Electro’s vision is to create a scalable, reliable, and future-ready ecosystem that can transform public transport in India. As our cities grow and mobility needs evolve, clean, efficient, and accessible public transport will play a central role in shaping a more sustainable future.”
She further stated that alongside KKR, the company will continue to focus on responsible scale-up and expanding its footprint across Indian cities.
