Delhi Rolls Out 300 E-Buses on Rationalised Trans‑Yamuna Routes, Sets 12–18 Month All‑Electric Goal

The exercise serves as a pilot for citywide route redesign developed with IIT Delhi to improve last‑mile coverage.

Overview

  • Chief Minister Rekha Gupta flagged off the new DEVi fleet from the East Vinod Nagar depot on September 28.
  • Transport officials launched 21 redesigned routes covering 625 bus stops to better match passenger demand across Yamuna Par.
  • The AC DEVi buses include onboard CCTV, panic buttons and automated payment options for safer, faster boarding.
  • Authorities described this as Delhi’s first route rationalisation to be studied for expansion across the city as part of operational upgrades.
  • The launch formed part of Seva Pakhwada events with Union minister Harsh Malhotra in attendance, and DTC’s DEVi count rose to 974.
