Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday flagged off 300 electric buses, sending the fleet strength of the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) to 6,100.

Gupta said her government is continuously working to reduce the losses of the DTC and improve public transport services.

“We will convert the entire DTC fleet into electric vehicles (EV) buses. The Delhi government is working towards last-mile connectivity. The government is also releasing the EV subsidy amount, which was pending for the last several years,” she said.

She claimed that Delhi has the biggest fleet of electric buses in the country.

Efforts are underway to revamp the national capital’s entire transport infrastructure, including an expansion of EV charging facilities, she added.

The government also launched an interstate bus between Delhi and Ghaziabad.

Attacking the previous government run by the Aam Aadmi Party, Gupta said it only believed in making promises and publicity, and no work.
