Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is set to kick off 200 new electric buses and the Delhi-Rohtak interstate electric bus service on April 17, along with other public transport initiatives. This move aims to enhance sustainable mobility and upgrade transport infrastructure, as stated by an official. Additionally, she will inaugurate the bus terminal at Madanpur Khadar and the modern administrative building at East Vinod Nagar Depot.
Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh highlighted that since the new government’s inception, approximately 2,184 electric buses have been introduced into the DTC service. This addition will bring the total fleet strength to around 6,300 buses, comprising 4,538 electric buses and 1,759 CNG buses. Delhi is already recognized for having the largest electric bus fleet in the country.
Singh emphasized that Delhi is swiftly moving towards a clean, efficient, and future-ready public transport system. The induction of 200 electric buses, the launch of the Delhi–Rohtak interstate service, and the development of crucial infrastructure like the Madanpur Khadar bus terminal and East Vinod Nagar administrative building demonstrate the commitment to sustainable mobility and enhanced commuter experience.
The ongoing fleet augmentation program, centered on electric mobility, aims to expand Delhi’s total bus fleet to nearly 14,000 buses by FY 2028–29. Furthermore, to enhance green regional connectivity, a new interstate electric bus service between Delhi and Rohtak will be introduced, operating via key points including Tikri Border, Bahadurgarh, and Rohtak Bus Stand.
