Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is set to inaugurate 200 new electric buses and the Delhi-Rohtak interstate electric bus service on Friday. These initiatives aim to enhance sustainable mobility and upgrade transport infrastructure. Additionally, a new bus terminal at Madanpur Khadar and a modern administrative building at East Vinod Nagar Depot will be unveiled during the event.
Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh highlighted that the Delhi government has already introduced 2,184 electric buses into the DTC service since its formation. This move will increase the total fleet size to around 6,300 buses, comprising 4,538 electric buses and 1,759 CNG buses. Delhi currently boasts the largest electric bus fleet in the country.
Singh emphasized the city’s shift towards a cleaner and more efficient public transport system. He praised the efforts to introduce 200 electric buses, commence the Delhi–Rohtak interstate service, and develop essential infrastructure like the Madanpur Khadar bus terminal and East Vinod Nagar administrative building. These developments align with the government’s commitment to sustainable mobility and enhanced commuter services.
The ongoing fleet expansion program in Delhi, focusing on electric mobility, is progressing systematically. By the fiscal year 2028–29, the city plans to increase its bus fleet to nearly 14,000 buses. Furthermore, to enhance green regional connectivity, a new interstate electric bus service connecting Delhi and Rohtak will be launched, strengthening sustainable regional mobility.
