Delhi to Add 150 Electric Buses and Five New EV Charging Stations
The Delhi government plans to add 150 new electric buses, increasing its electric fleet to 5,238 out of nearly 7,000 buses, alongside inaugurating five public EV charging stations across the city. These stations, located at key depots and Anand Vihar ISBT, aim to support cleaner, more efficient public transport. While the government targets expanding the bus fleet to 14,000 by 2028-29 and increasing charging infrastructure, experts note the need to accelerate the pace of operationalizing approved charging centers to meet 2030 goals.
