What happened
The Delhi government has announced a plan to add 2,800 electric buses over the next two years. The announcement presents the fleet addition as a measure to expand public transport and reduce emissions in the capital.
Why the move matters
Electric buses are central to urban mobility because they can improve bus capacity while lowering tailpipe pollution. In a city such as Delhi, where transport emissions and air quality remain major concerns, bus electrification is relevant to both clean-air policy and mobility planning.
