Delhi to Launch 150 Electric Buses with Expanded Depot and Charging Infrastructure
The Delhi government plans to launch 150 new electric buses next month, aiming to expand its public transport fleet with enhanced depot and charging infrastructure. Land requests have been made to the Delhi Development Authority and Municipal Corporation of Delhi for five locations to support this expansion. Two new depots at Daurala and Jhuljhuli, with capacities of 250 and 500 buses respectively, are also under development to serve rural passengers. These efforts align with national schemes promoting electric mobility.
