26 Sep 2025 CW Team

The ceremony, held as part of Sewa Pakhwada 2025 to mark the Prime Minister’s birthday, underscored Delhi’s commitment to sustainable mobility and modern transport infrastructure.

Speaking at the event, CM Gupta said, “With this depot, capable of housing around 400 e-buses and equipped with state-of-the-art charging infrastructure, our government reaffirms its commitment to sustainable mobility. This project is not just a bus depot—it is the foundation of a greener, more efficient Delhi.”

The CM highlighted that the project will be financially self-sustainable. “Around 2 lakh square feet of retail and commercial space will be integrated into the complex, generating revenue to offset project expenses. Additional features include 324 car parking slots, 104 two-wheeler spaces in the basement, 26,257 square feet for DTC offices and dormitories, and a modern commercial hub comprising malls and office spaces,” she said.

Designed as a green and future-ready facility, the depot will include a 500-kilowatt rooftop solar plant, a 170-kilolitre-per-day sewage treatment plant, and a rainwater harvesting system for groundwater recharge. Nearly 740,000 square feet of built-up space will be supported by a dedicated 33 kV electrical substation. The project, costing Rs 420 crore, is expected to be completed within 24 months.

Gupta also announced plans to expand Delhi’s electric bus fleet from 3,000 to 6,000 within the next year. Referring to the Shadipur Depot project, she said residential colonies were being developed for DTC families. “Where past governments neglected the lifeline of Delhi, we are reviving it. This depot is proof that with the right intent and planning, DTC can once again be the pride of Delhi,” she added.
