DTC to procure e-busses for Mohalla bus scheme

28 Sep 2023 CW Team
The Delhi government's ambitious 'mohalla' bus scheme is expected to be launched in the coming months. An official stated on Wednesday that the DTC is likely to sign a contract for the procurement of electric buses within the week. The mohalla bus service, which was announced in the 2023-24 Delhi budget, aims to deploy shorter nine-meter electric buses in order to enhance last-mile connectivity in areas with narrow or congested roads. According to sources within the Delhi government, there will be a significant emphasis on improving last-mile connectivity through mohalla bus services in the state budget for 2023-24. Additionally, attention will be given to upgrading the city's transportation infrastructure. The official stated, "We are expected to sign a contract with the manufacturers of electric buses this week or early next week for the procurement of buses. The delivery of these buses will take approximately three to five months." In a recent interview with PTI, Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot emphasised that strengthening last-mile connectivity is a key priority for the government. He further explained, "We have conducted numerous consultations and have also established a committee. I will also be conducting individual meetings with MLAs and councillors to gain firsthand experience. We are also planning to hold public meetings in various areas. Following these consultations, we will finalize the routes for the service."
