NEW DELHI: Spread over 4.57 acres, this depot at Mundhela Kalan has 32 DC fast chargers and 100 parking bays for electric buses, apart from four service and two dry pits. The Delhi government is likely to roll out 100 e-buses next week from here. Currently, two e-buses have been running in the city, which were launched on trial, and officials said the response had been good.
According to officials, the buses operating from the first electric depot in west Delhi will connect areas such as Najafgarh, Dhansa Border, Azadpur, Tilak Nagar, Lado Sarai, Manglapuri, Moti Nagar, Nehru Place, ISBT Kashmere Gate and Old Delhi Railway Station. “You will soon find e-buses running on different routes. This is going to transform the public transport system in the city in the same way the low-floor AC and non-AC buses did ahead of the Commonwealth Games,” said an official.
