The prototype of a fully electric bus, which will be inducted into the fleet of Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), has come after a long wait. Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gehlot on Sunday took to Twitter to confirm the development and also announced that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will soon flag off the e-bus. The Transport Department is procuring 300 electric buses whose deliveries were to start in November 2020. However, it was postponed due to several reasons including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The Delhi Transport Department had last year floated tenders for induction of 140 low-floor AC electric buses, with an aim to strengthen public transport as well as check air pollution. Besides this, the DTC board has also approved induction of 1,245 low-floor buses including 1,015 electric buses to augment the old fleet of public transporters in the city.
