Delhi, India, has reached a significant milestone with 1,650 electric buses now operating on its streets, making up an impressive 22% of the city’s bus fleet. This accomplishment solidifies Delhi’s position as the country’s leading hub for electric buses, and it now stands as the world’s second-largest, closely following Santiago with 2,000 electric buses.
While Chinese cities, particularly Shenzhen with over 16,000 e-buses, lead the global electric bus fleet, Delhi is rapidly advancing in this green transportation revolution. The city aims to surpass Santiago’s electric bus count in the next six months, potentially becoming the second-largest hub globally.
This shift towards electric buses aligns with Delhi’s commitment to sustainable urban transportation, addressing concerns such as air pollution and traffic congestion. As the city continues to prioritize green initiatives, the impact on public health, education, and the overall environment is expected to be substantial.
