With around 100-150 new electric buses being delivered every month, the government has also started phasing out the older CNG buses that have reached the end of their life and are prone to frequent breakdowns. The entire existing fleet of DTC and Delhi Integrated Multi-modal Transport System Limited (DIMTS) is expected to be replaced with electric buses by 2024.
"We already have around 800 operational e-buses, and 600 additional buses will be added to our fleet this month. We are continuously receiving small batches from the manufacturer almost every week," said Ashish Kundra, transport secretary-cum-commissioner.
"We are in the process of finalising the routes and depots where these buses will be deployed. Once we receive the additional buses, these may be launched together by the middle of this month," said Shilpa Shinde, managing director, DTC.
