Delhi’s public transport network is moving towards a major shift, with electric vehicles becoming central. Over the last year, more than 2000 electric buses have joined the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) fleet. The government plans to convert the entire bus network to EVs so that city bus travel becomes fully emission-free.

Adding to this push, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta flagged off 300 new electric buses from the Indraprastha bus depot. These buses are now dedicated to passengers across the capital. Officials see this as part of a wider effort to control air pollution and build a more modern, reliable transport system for Delhi.

On the same occasion, a new interstate Delhi EV Bus service between Nanaksar and Ghaziabad also started. This route aims to give Delhi-NCR commuters smoother links and reduce travel time. Alongside this, the foundation stone was laid for a new DTC office building, planned with upgraded facilities to support smarter management of the transport network.
