Cityflo
has announced the launch of its
first electric bus fleet
in Delhi NCR through a strategic partnership with fleet management firm
Aaveg
. The collaboration marks Cityflo's entry into the electric public transport segment in the capital region, following its operations in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
Under the arrangement, Aaveg will own and maintain the electric buses, while Cityflo will manage end-to-end commuter services, including route planning, booking and service delivery. The model combines Cityflo's tech-led operational control with Aaveg's fleet ownership and maintenance.
The electric buses are already in service on high-demand corridors such as Rohini–DLF Cyber City and Sohna Road, and early rider feedback has highlighted improvements in punctuality, comfort and reliability.
The move aligns with Cityflo's broader plan to electrify at least 20 per cent of its fleet by FY26. The company said it would scale up adoption based on the pace of battery and charging infrastructure development in Indian cities.
For Aaveg, the partnership reflects its push to expand electric mobility options in urban public and corporate transport segments. Both firms cited sustainability, reliability and scalable growth as central goals.
The companies said the initiative contributes to India's ongoing efforts to transition urban transport systems toward lower emissions and improved commuter experience.

Shukla, Tharoor contradict Rahul's stance on economy

Shashi Tharoor NEW DELHI: On a day when leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi endorsed US President Donald Trump's "dead economy" remark on India, Congress leader Rajeev Shukla refuted Trump's view, saying he was "wrong", even as party Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor held that US's imposition of 25% tariff and penalties may be just a "bargaining tactic" given that trade negotiations are on between the two countries. Another Congress MP, Karti Chidambaram, took a similar line and said, "Trump is not a conventional politician... We should not panic immediately. These are all opening positions in a negotiation." RS MP Rajeev Shukla told ANI in Parliament complex that "Trump saying that the economies of India and Russia are dead, is wrong. The Indian economy is not dead". He went on to add that "economic reforms were introduced when PV Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh were there. Atal Bihari Vajpayee took those reforms forward. Manmohan Singh strengthened them in his 10 years. The current govt has also worked on it. Our economic condition is not at all weak". "If someone claims they can finish us economically, it's likely due to a misunderstanding. Trump is living in a delusion. Imposing tariffs is wrong," Shukla added. With his remarks seen to be contradictory to what Rahul said on the state of the economy, Congress shared a video clip of Shukla responding to a question in Parliament where he said that Rahul Gandhi knows a lot about the economy and went on to list the economic reforms steered by Congress and UPA govt and accused BJP of attacking the party and the Gandhi family without any reason all the time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If the Cat Bites You, Here's What It Really Means.

If a good deal is not possible, we may have to walk away". "Twenty-five per cent plus an unspecified penalty for buying oil and gas from Russia could take it up to 35% or 45%; we don't know how much. There is even talk of 100% penalty, which would destroy our trade with America," Tharoor told reporters. "Trade negotiations are still going on and there is a possibility, this may come down. If it doesn't, it will certainly damage our exports because America is a very big market for us," he added.

BSP chief Mayawati slams United States trade tariffs, urges Union govt. to use it as opportunity for self-reliance

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Thursday (July 31, 2025) criticized the newly imposed trade tariffs by the United States and urged the Indian government to protect national interests, particularly those of farmers and small businesses. The BSP leader added that such economic pressures by the United States should be met with resilience and transformed into opportunities for self-reliance. 'Despite the United States being described as a 'friendly' nation, the newly emerged challenge by US President Donald Trump imposing a 25 percent duty on Indian imports and a penalty on importing oil from Russia should be met with resilience and transformed into opportunities for self-reliance,' wrote Ms. Mayawati, on X, adding the country hopes the Union Government will live up to the assurance that no section, especially small and medium enterprises and the agricultural sector, will be adversely affected. The former four-time U.P. CM said India is a country of the world's largest population of hardworking people and if a policy is formulated to take the country forward on the basis of labour force providing work to every hand and implemented properly, then the country can certainly become a happy and prosperous with self-reliance as well as 'Sarvajan Hitaay and Sarvajan Sukhaay', in which the public and national interest is completely inherent and can also remain safe as per the humanitarian and welfare objective of the Constitution. United States President Donald Trump on July 30 announced a 25% tariff on Indian goods from August 1, with an additional but unspecified 'penalty' for its defence and energy imports from Russia.
