Delhi Retires Last Red CNG DTC Bus, Ending State-Owned Fleet Era
Delhi's last red CNG-run DTC bus, which served for 15 years and covered over 927,000 km, was retired and sent for scrapping, marking the end of DTC's own bus fleet. The bus, operated from Rajghat Depot-I, symbolized a significant era in the city's public transport, introducing air-conditioning and improved accessibility. All remaining DTC buses are now managed by private concessionaires, with the city transitioning from CNG to electric buses. The retirement was a routine end-of-life process, observed quietly by staff.
