NEW DELHI: 3rd May, 2025: Daruhera-based PMI Electromobility has announced plans to deploy approximately 1,456 (9-meter) PMI Electro Mobility buses as part of the Delhi government’s EVI initiative, which plans to launch 2080 such buses over the next 2-3 years.
The project aims to enhance last-mile connectivity between metro stations and major bus terminals using a fleet of modern electric buses. In its first phase, 400 buses have been deployed across East and West Delhi, covering localities such as Ghazipur, Vinod Nagar East, and Nangloi.
The service was launched by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta in the presence of Harsh Malhotra, Minister of State in the Ministry of Transport & Highways and Corporate Affairs, Pankaj Singh, Hon’ble Minister of Health & Family Welfare, Transport, and Information Technology, and Dharmendra Pradhan, Hon’ble Minister of Education, GOI, as well as Hon’ble Delhi MPs and other Cabinet Ministers.
DEVi’s launch initiative complements the city’s overall goal of transitioning 80% of its public transportation fleet to electric vehicles.
Every DEVi bus provides a modern and inclusive travel experience, including:
- The low-floor design, combined with the kneeling function, allows for easy boarding.
- Dedicated wheelchair space with automatic ramps.
- The configuration includes 23 seats, six of which are pink and reserved for women.
- Real-time diagnostics, passenger counting, and air suspension are some of the more advanced features.
The initiative also encourages gender inclusivity, with female drivers operating a portion of the fleet. Dr. Aanchal Jain, CEO of PMI Electro Mobility, stated, “As a Delhi resident, I am excited to contribute to our city’s clean mobility vision. “The DEVi project demonstrates PMI’s commitment to developing sustainable, accessible, and inclusive transportation solutions.”
PMI Electro Mobility operates over 2,500 electric buses in 31 cities, totalling nearly 1,000,000 zero-emission kilometres per day. The company also leads initiatives such as “PMI Green Routes” and operates a female-led battery assembly unit, demonstrating its commitment to environmental and social impact.
