The first three of the 37 made-to-order Tejaswini buses for women have finally arrived in Mumbai and will be put in service in the next ten days. The buses are required to be registered and processed after which they can be inducted in the fleet. The BEST Undertaking has proposed to procure and run these buses under the Maharshtra government's Tejaswini scheme.

Confirming the development, BEST spokesperson Manoj Varade told mid-day that three buses have arrived so far, and more are on the way. "It could take around 10 days to induct them in the fleet for passenger service. A total of 37 buses have been planned," said Varade.
