Delhi, Bengaluru To Get Flying Buses? Gadkari Outlines Govt's Plans To Cut Traffic Woes

Last Updated: Nitin Gadkari has detailed the government's plans to ease the traffic problems in major cities of the country, including Delhi and Bengaluru. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has outlined the future of the Indian transport system in major cities of the country, which will have an air pod system and flash-charging electric buses. These transportation initiatives will ease the problem of traffic congestion, bringing relief to the residents from long, tiring journeys. Detailing the government's plan in this direction, Gadkari said that a pod system in the air is being planned along the Dhaula Kuan-Manesar route. 'We want to start a pod system in the air from Dhaula Kuan to Manesar because there is a lot of traffic on this road," the Union Minister told news agency ANI. He also underlined that a similar study is being carried out in Bengaluru – a city which is infamous for its long traffic congestion, particularly during rainfall. #WATCH | When asked about 'flying buses', Union Minister Nitin Gadkari says, '…We want to start a pod system in the air from Dhaula Kuan to Manesar because there is a lot of traffic on this road. We are doing the same study in Bengaluru. In Uttarakhand and Kashmir, we are… — ANI (@ANI) June 9, 2025 What Is Pod System? A pod-based transport system consists of small, driverless electric vehicles that run on raised tracks by either hanging from rails above or running on top of them. They are similar to on-demand taxis, wherein one can call a pod when in need and transit from one place to another without any stoppage. A pod can carry around five to six people. Gadkari said that the government has started a flash-charging electric bus in Nagpur, which has 135 seats. This bus will run at a speed of 120 km/h and will stop for 30 seconds to recharge and run again. 'We have also started a flash-charging electric bus in Nagpur with 135 seats. This bus will be executive class with TVs in front. It will run on the road to Nagpur. The bus will have a speed of 120 kmph. It will stop for 30 seconds after every 40 kilometres, people will get off and get on. The bus will get charged in 30 seconds and will start again…The bus will be less expensive because it will require less battery power," he detailed, highlighting that the fare on such buses will be 30% lower compared to diesel buses. Upon successful completion of the initiative in Nagpur, the government will roll out the same buses from Delhi to Jaipur, Delhi to Dehradun, Bangalore to Chennai, Mumbai to Nashik, and Pune, the Minister announced.

‘Have had no time to discuss in last 15 days': Supriya Sule sidesteps question on buzz over NCP factions reuniting

NCP (SP) working President Supriya Sule on Tuesday avoided a direct response on the speculation about the rival NCP factions coming together, saying she was busy with other responsibilities and had no time to discuss the party affairs. Asked if she is remembering 'dada' — her cousin and rival NCP head Ajit Pawar — on the Nationalist Congress Party's 26th foundation day on Tuesday, the Lok Sabha member told reporters that she has six brothers, and she remembers them every day. To a query on whether she will call Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar to wish him on the party's foundation day, Sule said, 'I speak to all my brothers on different occasions.' The NCP, founded by Sharad Pawar, split in July 2023 after nephew Ajit Pawar joined the then Shiv Sena-BJP coalition government. The party name and its clock symbol were given to the Ajit Pawar faction, while the one headed by the former Union agriculture minister was christened NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar). There has been speculation that the two factions could be looking at burying the hatchet and reuniting. To a query on a section of the NCP (SP) having the same feeling and Sharad Pawar saying all decisions regarding the party will be taken by her, Sule said, 'I have had no time to discuss the party affairs with party leaders or meet my family for the last 15 days.' Everyone has the right to express their views and opinions in a democracy, she added. 'NCP is an organisation founded by Sharad Pawar and is functional for 26 years. Everyone, whether they are with us or not, has contributed to the growth of the party. There was teamwork. I am remembering R R Patil, who is no more,' she said. Sule recently led a multi-party delegation and travelled to some of the foreign countries to convey India's stand following Operation Sindoor, the parliamentarian said she will be leaving in the afternoon for New Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet members of multi-party delegations which travelled abroad

Today's top news: Eighteen crew members rescued from a fire-stricken, Singapore-flagged container vessel were safely transported to the Coast Guard berth of the New Mangalore Port Authority (NMPA) at Panambur by the Indian Naval Ship (INS) Surat. Of those rescued, two are reported to be in critical condition, four sustained minor injuries, and the remaining twelve suffered various degrees of trauma. The injured were taken to AJ Hospital in Kuntikana late on Monday night. The critically injured were stabilised aboard INS Surat and transferred under close medical supervision upon arrival. 'Immediate evacuation was our priority,' a Coast Guard official told reporters, noting that immigration, port, and police departments coordinated effectively to ensure a smooth handover and medical transfer. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar are set to meet the Congress high command in New Delhi on Tuesday to deliberate on various matters, including the 4 June stampede in Bengaluru that claimed 11 lives. The Congress-led state government has faced strong criticism following the incident, with opposition parties BJP and JD(S) holding both the Chief Minister and his deputy accountable, demanding their resignation. According to a statement from the Chief Minister's Office, Siddaramaiah will update party leadership in Delhi on the recent developments. The stampede took place on the evening of 4 June outside Chinnaswamy Stadium, where a massive crowd had gathered to celebrate the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team's IPL victory. Eleven people lost their lives and 56 others were injured in the incident. 11:53 AM CM Sai pays tribute to cop killed in IED blast, says Naxalism on its last breath Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Tuesday said the end of Naxalism is certain, as he laid wreath at the mortal remains of Additional Superintendent of Police Akash Rao Girepunje killed in an IED blast in Sukma district. Girepunje was killed and two officers were injured after the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) planted by Naxals exploded on Monday in Sukma. 11:50 AM Students living in US being repeatedly mistreated but PM Modi is silent: Congress The Congress on Tuesday slammed the government after a video emerged showing an Indian student being handcuffed and pinned to the floor at a US airport, and demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should immediately talk to President Donald Trump to appeal for intervention on the "mistreatment" of Indians in America. Congress leaders shared the video and pictures of an Indian student handcuffed and pinned to the floor at USA's Newark Airport before he was allegedly deported. 11:46 AM Fire at housing apartment in Delhi's Dwarka; 8 tenders rushed A fire broke out in a seventh floor flat of an apartment in Dwarka's Sector 13 Tuesday morning, an official said.

The opposition party also said that never has India had a Union home minister whose tenure has been one of "maximum boasts, minimum achievements". 10:30 AM Modernisation, self-reliance focus in defence production: PM Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that significant changes have unfolded in the defence sector in the 11 years of his government, with a clear focus on both modernisation and self-reliance in defence production.
