Free travel in these Electric buses is being offered by the Delhi government to encourage people to promote electric buses. According to a DTC official, the goal of this tactic is to excite people and raise awareness about electric buses. "The e-bus fleet will grow to 152 with the addition of 150 buses," the source continued.

With the addition of 150 electric buses to its fleet, Delhi will equal the national record of inducting the largest number of electric buses at the same time, according to the statement. This is part of the Delhi government's plan to electrify the city's public transit system.
