Delhi To Launch 300 Electric Buses And Plant Seven Million Trees

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced that the Delhi Government will roll out 300 new air-conditioned electric buses on July four and that the government is fully committed to environment protection and to developing a world-class public transport system in the national capital. She also announced that a massive mega-plantation drive to plant seven million (7 mn) saplings across the city will be launched on July seven.

She made the remarks while attending three Viksit Bharat Sankalp Sammelan events held in Pitampura, West Enclave in Shakurbasti and Mahalaxmi Vihar in Mustafabad to mark 12 years of the Narendra Modi-led Government at the Centre. At the Pitampura event she joined public representatives, party workers and residents in listening to the Prime Minister's monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, which she described as a powerful medium connecting public service with nation building.

She credited the Centre with major achievements in sectors such as digital governance, infrastructure, railways, expressways, airports, defence manufacturing and Direct Benefit Transfer. She said the principle of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas remained the guiding force behind development initiatives. The Chief Minister said the Delhi Government was implementing key national campaigns including water conservation through the Catch the Rain initiative, promotion of local products under Vocal for Local and environmental protection.

She said development projects had been expedited across all 70 Assembly constituencies without political discrimination, with work progressing on roads, sewer networks, drinking water supply, schools and hospitals. The fleet expansion is intended to boost sustainable urban mobility and the plantation drive aims to enhance green cover and urban resilience. The government will monitor implementation and coordinate with municipal agencies and transport departments to ensure timely deployment and sapling survival.
