Delhi to get 500 mini electric busses
Delhi is set to roll out 500 mini electric busses under the PM e-Drive scheme, aiming to make it easier to get around those narrow, crowded streets where big busses just can't fit.
The project kicks off in phases from 2027 to 2028, with Chief Minister Rekha Gupta saying this move will help make Delhi's bus fleet one of the largest and greenest in the world.
Transport minister shares details of the project
Transport Minister Pankaj Singh shared that these seven-meter mini busses will come with low-floor entry, air-conditioning, CCTV cameras, panic buttons, and GPS tracking—so they're comfy and safe.
On top of that, Delhi plans to add over 3,300 more electric busses of different sizes soon.
Right now, more than 4,000 out of Delhi's 5,336 government busses are already electric; by March 2026 it'll be over 5,000 and should hit nearly 14,000 by 2028.
It's a big step toward cleaner and smarter city travel!
