Delhi to induct 100 more e-buses in October

Delhi is set to add 100 electric buses to its public transport fleet this month, taking the number of government e-buses to 900, officials aware of the matter said on Monday.

Transport minister Kailash Gahlot said, “Final preparations and formalities for the induction of 100 buses are on. The e-buses will be inducted sometime in October… By the end of the year, we are trying to induct 1,900 e-buses. Delhi already has the largest fleet of e-buses in the country. In the last couple of years, the Delhi government has added e-buses at a large scale which is one of the important steps to check air pollution.”

A transport department official said, “The 100 new e-buses have already arrived in the Capital and are in the final phase of induction.”
