Delhi on track to become EV capital with about 8,000 e-buses by 2026: Minister
Delhi is set to cement its place as the country’s Electric Vehicle (EV) capital with 7,000 to 8,000 new electric buses on its roads by February 2026, Transport Minister Pankaj Singh said on Monday.
At present, the city has 3,400 electric buses, up from 400 when Singh took charge. The fleet is expected to grow to 6,000 by the end of this year, he said.
“Based on route rationalisation, Delhi requires 7,000 to 8,000 buses. We believe we will reach that target by February,” the minister said while addressing the India Clean Transportation Summit 2025 at the India International Centre here.
