The first phase of setting up charging infrastructure at depots for 1,000 electric buses will be completed by November 1, the Delhi government said on Thursday.
The government expects to roll out Delhi’s first 37 electric buses by December before the model code of conduct for the Delhi assembly election kicks in.
These decisions were taken at a high-level meeting on Wednesday convened by power minister Satyendar Jain and transport minister Kailash Gahlot with stakeholders.
The meeting was convened to resolve the deadlock between the transport and power departments over the time taken to complete electricity work at the e-bus depots.
