The Delhi Transport Corporation will likely add 100 more electric buses to its fleet. The new additions will take the Delhi Transport Corporation’s (DTC) electric bus fleet to 400. Equipped with security features such as CCTV cameras and panic buttons, these buses will hit the national capital’s roads following the configuration and registration process.
The 100 new electric buses will be the first of 1,500 inducted into the Transport Department’s fleet by the end of 2023, totalling 1,800. Nearly 7,200 buses are plying on the city roads — the DTC runs 3,900 buses, and the cluster runs 3,300. At the same time, 2,600 buses will go off the roads in the next one-and-a-half years.
