New Delhi: While the national capital now has a new electric bus depot to accommodate the first batch of e-buses that are expected to be launched soon, the Delhi government also makes the depot and bus terminal longer “ready” for not only the bus but also for other electric vehicles ( EV).
Minister of Transport Kailash Gahlot placed the Stone Foundation for the first public in the city of filling Plaza at Terminal Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) Nehru Place on September 13.
DTC has now started the process of completing the EV charging station at the Nehru terminal and the Mehruuli and Rajghat-i bus terminal, the Dwarka 2 and 8 sector, the Kalkaji and IP Depot.
Gahlot said the government moved closer to the agenda of developing innovative filling infrastructure and EV ecosystems in Delhi and has collaborated with Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL).
CESL, a subsidiary whom owned fully from limited energy efficiency services under the UNI Ministry, comes with expertise in EV and filling infrastructure, and will develop public EV charging and battery exchange stations along with DTC.
Each of the seven locations will have six charging points, three of them will be for two wheels and three and three points for four wheels.
After functional, these locations, with their real-time status and the availability of charging points, will also be available in Delhi’s Delhi cellular application.
DTC designated electric bus depot in Rohini-I and II, Mundela Kalan, Subhash Place, Mayapuri, Nagar Day, Sukhdev Vihar etc.
almost complete.
Ashish Kundrra, Main Secretary – Commissioner of the main transportation, told TOI that in the current model, an electrical connection was given to the operator on the outskirts of the depot from the level of 11kv or 33kv.
The operator then must make civil infrastructure inside the depot to carry a connection to the center of the depot via the underground cable.
The filling station appears on a diagonal strip in the middle, and then the bus is parked in the bay in the “butterfly pattern”.
Kundrra said that previously described by Gahlot, Delhi was looking at the transition to public transportation that was fully electrical and EV ecosystem.
“For this, the ambitious plan has been engraved, depot assessment and meeting with discounts occur.
Also, a PMU has been set to keep an eye on everything,” Kundra said.
While the bus operates around the previous CNG station, new fuel will electricity, Kundra shows.
“One of the critical success factors in the overall practice is the electrification depot.
You have to plan ahead,” he added.
On March 26 this year, Delhi’s cabinet approved an engagement of 300 low-floor electric aircondition bus by DTC, and on schedule, 118 buses will arrive in October 2021, 100 in November and 60 in December, but the plan was obtained.
