After a lavish tour to China, officials of the AP state Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) have decided to drop its proposal of introducing the battery-run buses across the state.
APSRTC managing director AK Khan rejected the proposal saying that such buses are very expensive.
The other reason for not going in for such buses is their high maintenance cost.
These buses are not in use in any other country, except China.
The officials now have a second wind that if the buses do not work as expected, the RTC would face flak from public for its rash decisions.
A normal bus costs around `18 lakh compared to a battery operated bus (non-AC) which costs around `35 lakh and an air-conditioned bus around `65 lakh.
The officials, earlier, had planned to operate air-conditioned and non air-conditioned battery buses after their visit from China.
