Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday flagged off 200 new electric buses, a decisive addition to Delhi’s expanding green mobility network. The launch of the Delhi–Rohtak interstate e-bus service, the inauguration of the Madanpur Khadar bus terminal, and the dedication of the new administrative building at the East Vinod Nagar Depot together reflect a calibrated push towards modern, efficient and future-ready public transport.
“The launch of the Delhi-Rohtak interstate bus service will strengthen regional connectivity. The inauguration of the Madanpur Khadar bus terminal as a crucial facility for passengers, making transport services more organised,” the chief minsiter said.
This building is equipped with a biometric system and health check-up facilities to ensure that drivers operate buses in a safe and healthy condition, thereby reducing the possibility of accidents, Gupta added.
“Delhi’s EV policy is the most effective in the country. The national capital has been facing problems due to air pollution for the past several years, but the previous governments did not come up with a proper plan,” she said.
“A massive EV Waste Disposal Plant will also be established in the Holambi Kalan area to ensure the scientific disposal of e-vehicle batteries in the future to protect nature,” she added.
These are not isolated announcements. They signal a structured shift towards sustainable mobility, stronger regional connectivity, and a more reliable, comfortable daily commute for citizens. The Delhi Government remains firmly committed to building a city that moves cleaner, connects better, and serves its people with greater efficiency.
Delhi’s e-Buses Fleet Continues To Expand
With the addition of these Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses, 4,550 of the 6,300 public transport buses in the capital are now electric buses, the chief minister said at the event.
“The objective of every initiative of the Delhi government is to provide better connectivity, a clean environment, and modern transport facilities to the citizens,” CM Gupta said.
A large number of the new buses are ‘Devi’ buses, which will provide better transport facilities to common citizens by reaching remote and narrow lanes, she added.
