Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta stated on Sunday that the city will soon have the largest number of electric buses among all Indian states. The announcement was made during a press briefing ahead of an upcoming transportation initiative.
The move is part of Delhi’s efforts to promote sustainable urban mobility and reduce pollution in the capital. The government plans to expand the electric bus fleet significantly in the coming months.
**Why this matters**
Increasing the number of electric buses can help lower air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in Delhi, a city known for its poor air quality. Transitioning to electric public transport supports India’s broader goals of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency.
