Delhi Launches 320 Electric Buses to Combat Pollution

02 Aug 2024 CW Team

Delhi's Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena has inaugurated 320 new electric buses, marking a significant step in the city's effort to combat air pollution. This deployment is part of Delhi's broader strategy to transition towards cleaner, more sustainable public transportation.

The introduction of these electric buses aims to reduce the city's reliance on diesel and petrol-powered vehicles, which are major contributors to urban air pollution. The new fleet will enhance the efficiency and environmental friendliness of Delhi's public transport system.

These electric buses are equipped with advanced features to ensure comfort and reliability. They are expected to not only improve air quality but also contribute to the overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the city. The initiative aligns with Delhi's commitment to environmental sustainability and its efforts to meet the targets set under the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan.

LG Saxena highlighted that this move is a crucial part of the ongoing battle against pollution and reflects the city's dedication to implementing innovative solutions to environmental challenges. The integration of electric buses into the city's transit system is anticipated to set a precedent for other Indian cities aiming to enhance their sustainability practices.

The new buses are expected to start operations shortly, with routes and schedules designed to maximise coverage and efficiency. This expansion of Delhi's electric bus fleet is seen as a pivotal moment in the city's ongoing efforts to improve air quality and reduce its carbon footprint.
