Delhi to add 200 e-buses on Apr 17

The Delhi Government will roll out a series of major public transport initiatives on Friday, including the induction of 200 new electric buses, launch of an interstate e-bus service to Rohtak and inauguration of key infrastructure projects aimed at strengthening sustainable mobility.

Announcing the move, Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh said the addition of 200 zero-emission buses to the Delhi Transport Corporation fleet will take the total number of buses to around 6,300, including over 4,500 electric buses.

In a push to improve regional connectivity, a new electric bus service between Delhi and Rohtak will also be launched. The route will operate via ISBT Kashmere Gate and Peeragarhi Chowk, covering key stops such as Tikri Border, Bahadurgarh and Sampla, under the reciprocal transport agreement between Delhi and neighbouring states.

Alongside service expansion, a new bus terminal at Madanpur Khadar near Kalindi Kunj Metro station and a modern administrative block at the East Vinod Nagar depot will be inaugurated to improve passenger amenities and operational efficiency.
