**Delhi Boosts Green Mobility with Electric Bus Network in Trans-Yamuna Region**
**New Delhi, September 12, 2025** – The Delhi government is significantly expanding its electric vehicle infrastructure with the launch of the Delhi Electric Vehicle Interconnector (DEVi) bus network in the Trans-Yamuna region. Announced yesterday by Transport Minister Pankaj Singh, the initiative is part of a broader city-wide route rationalization plan designed to improve commuter-friendliness and promote sustainable transportation.
IIT Delhi has finalized 18 routes for the Trans-Yamuna zone, which will be served by a fleet of 219 electric DEVi buses. The new network aims to provide “reliable, affordable, and last-mile green mobility solutions” to Delhi residents, according to Minister Singh. Each route is strategically planned to connect with at least one or two metro stations and will not exceed 12 kilometers in length, ensuring convenient connectivity within the region.
The DEVi bus network in Trans-Yamuna will be supported by three depots: East Vinod Nagar (11 routes), Shastri Park (4 routes), and Ghazipur (3 routes).
The route rationalization plan divides Delhi into six transport zones, each with a specific number of routes and DEVi buses:
* South West zone: 32 routes, 382 buses
* South zone: 32 routes, 307 buses
* North West zone: 27 routes, 352 buses
* West zone: 17 routes, 313 buses
* Central North zone: 19 routes, 168 buses
* Trans-Yamuna zone: 18 routes, 219 buses
The initiative highlights the Delhi government’s commitment to reducing emissions and providing accessible, eco-friendly transportation options for its citizens.
