Delhi schools to ensure at least 10% electric buses ferrying students within 2 years under new EV mandate

What Happened

Delhi's draft EV policy mandates schools transition at least 10 percent of bus fleets to electric vehicles within two years. The target increases to 20 percent by year three and 30 percent by March 2030. The mandate covers all school buses—owned, leased, or hired. The education department will enforce compliance through school recognition processes and coordination with transport authorities. Schools must conduct awareness campaigns about air pollution and promote sustainable travel among students and staff.
