India, Nov. 10 -- The transport department is set to build electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure at three bus depots in Nand Nagri, Wazirpur, and Sukhdev Vihar as part of their efforts to build a fully electric public transport ecosystem, officials said.

The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) has started work on the project which is likely to be completed in the next four months. The estimated cost of making the three depots EV-ready is around Rs.10 crore each.

"The electrification of these depots is essential to accommodate the next batch of e-buses that will be inducted over the next one year. Once complete, Delhi will have the capacity to manage one of the largest electric bus fleets in the country," a DTC official said.
