Delhi Emerges Number One in the E-Bus Race, Overtakes Maharashtra to Become the Nation’s Largest Green Fleet

Delhi has achieved another historic milestone in the field of clean and sustainable transport by securing the top position in the country in terms of electric buses. With the addition of 500 new EV buses at Ramlila Maidan, the total number of electric buses operating in the capital has now reached 4,286, enabling Delhi to overtake Maharashtra (4,001 e-buses), which had held the top position until now.

According to official data, other states following Delhi in terms of electric bus numbers include Karnataka (1,989), Gujarat (1,041), Telangana (875), and Uttar Pradesh (874). This achievement not only makes Delhi the state with the largest electric bus fleet in the country but also establishes the capital as a national model for green mobility and clean transport.

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that this success is the outcome of the Delhi Government’s forward-looking policy aimed at making public transport modern, environmentally friendly and accessible to all. Over the past year, the Government has rapidly inducted electric buses into the Delhi Transport Corporation fleet, leading not only to a reduction in pollution levels but also providing passengers with safe, comfortable and affordable transport facilities.

The Chief Minister further stated that the Government’s objective is not limited merely to increasing numbers, but to continuously work towards better connectivity, zero-emission transport and the creation of a future-ready urban mobility system.
