Delhi expands electric bus fleet: 2025 तक दिल्ली में 10,480 बसें करने का लक्ष्य है. इसमें से 80 प्रतिशत इलेक्ट्रिक बसें होंगी. अभी दिल्ली की सड़कों पर डीटीसी की 1650 इलेक्ट्रिक बसें चल रही हैं. बस बनाने वाली कंपनियों और बस डिपो के इलेक्ट्रिफिकेशन के काम में ढिलाई के कारण भी बसें नहीं आ पा रही हैं. ऐसे में सवाल उठता है कि सरकार 2025 तक 80 प्रतिशत इलेक्ट्रिक बस चलाने का लक्षय कैसे पूरा कर पाएगी.

00:00About 7300 buses are running in Delhi, of which about 40 lakh passengers travel daily.
00:08In this, if we talk about electric buses, there are only 1650 electric buses in Delhi.
00:15On 17th January 2022, the first electric bus was brought to Delhi by the Delhi government.
00:21Since then, 1650 electric buses have been included in Delhi's fleet.
00:27The Delhi government has set a target that by 2025, the total number of buses in Delhi will be 10,480,
00:38of which 80% will be electric, i.e. more than 8,000 buses.
00:42But now, it has been almost two and a half years, only 1650 electric buses have been able to come to Delhi.
00:49Right now, there are not enough buses.
00:52The buses that are running, apart from the electric buses, on Delhi's roads, are CNG buses,
00:59and more than 90% of them have become over-aged, due to which they break down at various places,
01:06i.e. they get damaged, which not only troubles the passengers, but also the walkers and pedestrians.
01:14Recently, the Delhi Prime Minister, Kailash Gahlot, has said that more electric buses will be included in Delhi's fleet soon,
01:24which will give comfort to the passengers.
01:26On the other hand, there are depots in Delhi.
01:29To operate and charge electric buses, the depots have to be electrified.
01:35There are a total of 62 depots in Delhi.
01:38Of these, only 16 have been electrified.
01:42To electrify four more depots, a transport department tender has also been launched.
