Delhi will add 150 electric buses to its public transport network in October, taking the city’s electric bus count to 5,088 vehicles.
The Delhi government announced that 150 additional electric buses will be deployed on the city’s streets from October. The move is part of a broader effort to make public transport more environmentally friendly and to reduce reliance on diesel‑powered vehicles.
With the new units, the total number of electric buses operating in Delhi will rise to 5,088, making it one of the largest electric bus fleets in the country. Officials say the expanded fleet will help cut emissions and improve air quality across the capital region.
The buses are expected to serve key routes in both the central and peripheral zones, offering commuters a quieter and zero‑emission alternative. The rollout will be overseen by the Delhi Transport Corporation, which has been scaling up its electric vehicle program over the past year.
