This strategic initiative signifies a concerted effort by NKDA to incorporate eco-friendly and sustainable transport solutions, aligning seamlessly with the overarching vision of transforming Kolkata into a smart city.

The talks between NKDA and academic institutions indicate a collaborative approach to leverage technological advancements in the field of transportation.
