Now, travel to and from Rapid Metro stations in East Delhi on AC electric buses
In a bid to enhance last-mile connectivity for commuters using the Namo Bharat corridor, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has partnered with the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) to integrate electric air-conditioned buses with key stations in East Delhi, the NCRTC said in a statement.
Under this initiative, three electric bus routes have been linked with Namo Bharat stations at New Ashok Nagar and Anand Vihar. Delhi Electric Vehicle Interchange (DEVI) Scheme buses will be running on these routes.
The identified routes include:
-New Ashok Nagar Namo Bharat Station to Anand Vihar ISBT
-A second connecting Anand Vihar ISBT to Ashok Nagar Border
-And a third route from Ashok Nagar Border to Mayur Vihar Phase-3 Paper Market.
One of these routes begins directly from the New Ashok Nagar station.
The buses will be operational between 6.30 am and 11 pm, and they connect a number of residential and commercial localities such as Chilla Village, Sapera Basti, New Kondli, Dallupura, Ghazipur Village and Mandi, Dharmshila Crossing and Trilokpuri to the Namo Bharat network.
This integration aims to make high-speed travel to Ghaziabad and Meerut more accessible and convenient, particularly for residents in these neighbourhoods, according to NCRTC.
Currently, 55 km of the 82 km Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor — from New Ashok Nagar to Meerut South — is operational with 11 stations.
Trial runs are ongoing on the remaining stretches between Sarai Kale Khan and New Ashok Nagar in Delhi, and between Meerut South and Modipuram. The full corridor is expected to be operational within the year.

Delhi CM Gupta inaugurates new DTC depot in Narela; flags off 105 electric DEVI buses
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday inaugurated a newly-constructed DTC bus depot at Sector A9, Narela, and flagged off over 100 new Delhi Electric Vehicle Interchange (DEVI) buses, marking a major milestone in Delhi's push toward sustainable public transport. The inauguration ceremony witnessed the presence of several prominent leaders, including BJP MP Yogender Chandoliya and Ministers Pankaj Kumar Singh and Ravinder Indraj Singh. The electric buses, designed to provide clean, efficient, and comfortable public transportation, are part of the city's larger initiative to combat pollution and improve last-mile connectivity under the DEVI initiative. Speaking at the event, Minister Singh underlined the environmental significance of the development. "Pollution has always been a major issue in Delhi, but this time you would have noticed there hasn't been any situation that led the NGT to impose any bans. This is a new step towards a pollution-free Delhi. To provide people with a pleasant travel experience, electric buses have been introduced," he said. Highlighting the growing importance of the Narela region, Chandoliya said, "Today, 105 electric DEVI buses are being flagged off from here. Many big government projects and universities are coming up here in Narela." Minister Singh praised the rapid development and quality of the new facility. "This terminal has been built in just 90 days and has been inaugurated with all modern amenities. For drivers, conductors, and the general public, RO drinking water and a large EV charging centre have been set up here," he said. The launch of the 105 electric buses from the Narela depot marks a significant leap in Delhi's efforts to reduce vehicular emissions while ensuring modern and accessible transport facilities for its residents. The newly-inaugurated bus terminal will serve as a critical node in the expanding electric public transit network of the national Capital and reduce traffic pollution in the years to come.
