By 2025, 83 per cent of the DTC bus fleet will be phased out upon completion of their operational life. Transport minister Kailash Gahlot hopeful of reviving the corporation

New Delhi: For those in the national capital who rely on buses for daily commute, the road ahead seems far from smooth. According to government records, 83 per cent of the buses that make up Delhi Transport Corporation’s (DTC) existing fleet will be phased out by 2025, upon completion of their operational life of 15 years.

The DTC — after inducting 150 new electric buses in May, the first such expansion of its fleet in 11 years — now has a total strength of 3,910 buses.

Of the remaining 3,760 buses, as many as 3,246 (83 per cent) will be phased out by September 2025. These numbers, sources told ThePrint, were discussed in the DTC’s previous board meeting on 6 June.

What will be left of the DTC’s fleet after September 2025? “Roughly some 2,314 buses or so,” said a senior official.

Giving a breakdown of numbers, the official said: “According to current estimates, 514 low-floor buses should sustain till 2025-end, 150 electric buses that were recently pressed into service and as many that are scheduled to become operational in a few months, and another 1,500 electric buses for which work order has been issued recently.”
