Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday flagged off 200 electric buses in the national capital, strengthening Delhi’s public transport with a clean mobility push. The new buses are part of the Delhi Electric Vehicle Initiative (DEVI), which aims to improve last-mile connectivity and reduce vehicular emissions in congested areas of the city.The flag-off event, held on World Environment Day, was attended by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, and Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa. The fleet has been developed and operated by PMI Electro Mobility.

Built to suit Delhi’s dense urban layout, the 9-metre DEVI buses are designed to run on 30 green routes. Each bus offers seating for 23 passengers—six reserved for women—and space for 13 standing commuters. Accessibility and safety features include CCTV cameras, panic buttons, GPS tracking, voice announcements, and ramps for the differently abled. Other key features include real-time diagnostics, automatic passenger counting, and air suspension for smoother travel through Delhi’s busy streets.Each bus is powered by six battery packs with a total capacity of 196kW, offering over 200km of range on a single charge. Using opportunity charging, they can be topped up in 45 minutes. With this rollout, PMI’s electric bus fleet now exceeds 2,500 units across 31 cities. Recently, CM Rekha Gupta launched over 400 electric buses in the capital’s bid to reduce pollution and adopt green mobility.
