Kejriwal flags off fleet of 97 electric buses at Rajghat depot
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday flagged off 97 electric buses from the Rajghat bus depot that took the number of such vehicles to 250. The CM said that nearly 80 per cent of the city’s entire bus fleet will be completely electric by 2025.
The CM also announced that 8,000 e-buses are in the pipeline to arrive by 2025 and by November 2023, Delhi will have the highest number of e-buses in India with 1,800 e-buses.
Kejriwal said that the city government is phasing out old-polluting buses and replacing them with electric buses. “We have developed world-class education and healthcare models in Delhi and now it is time to transform Delhi’s transport sector into a model for the world to reckon with,” said Kejriwal.
