Delhi Adds 200 E-Buses, Launches DelhiRohtak Route in Clean Transit Drive

The rollout strengthens Delhi’s lead in electric buses with a goal of 14,000 by 2028–29.

Overview

  • Delhi’s government, which flagged off 200 electric buses on Friday, now fields roughly 6,300 buses with more than 4,500 electric, the largest such fleet in India.
  • A new Delhi–Rohtak e-bus now runs via Kashmere Gate and Peeragarhi to Rohtak on an experimental permit under a four-state transport pact.
  • Officials opened the Madanpur Khadar terminal for passengers and a new East Vinod Nagar depot building with biometric check-ins and driver health rooms.
  • The low-floor AC buses carry CCTV, panic buttons, real-time tracking, and ramps, and many 'Devi' units are sized for narrow lanes to boost last-mile service.
  • Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced an EV battery waste plant at Holambi Kalan and a Rs 4,000 crore plan to speed electrification toward the 2028–29 target.
