Delhi Launches 76 E-Buses to Strengthen Metro Feeder System

The Delhi government has launched seventy-six electric buses under its new Delhi Electric Vehicle Interchanges (DEVI) scheme, aimed at enhancing last-mile metro connectivity and promoting clean urban transport.

The electric buses, starting operations from Ghazipur depot, will serve short routes of approximately twelve kilometres per day. Early deployments include routes such as Anand Vihar to Keshav Nagar Mukti Ashram, Mayur Vihar Phase III to Mori Gate, and Seemapuri to Old Delhi Railway Station. Additional routes from Anand Vihar to Swaroop Nagar, Kapashera, and Sangam Vihar are also included. Officials stated that the initiative replaces the former Mohalla Bus Service and is backed by infrastructure upgrades and renewed policy support. The buses are equipped with low floors, CCTV, GPS, and are tailored to navigate narrow, high-density neighbourhoods.

Aligned with Delhi’s Electric Vehicle Policy, which targets twenty-five per cent electric vehicle registrations by 2024, DEVI also complements national efforts under the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan and FAME India scheme. The initiative not only aims to reduce vehicular emissions and improve air quality but also ensures inclusive mobility by reaching low-income areas underserved by public transport.
