The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) is making all-out efforts to augment the bus fleet to meet this requirement, but is hindered in its efforts due to non-availability of depot land to bring cluster buses and repeated failure of tenders issued by the DTC for procurement of buses,&#8221; the affidavit said.<\/p>\n<p>It said that the Delhi cabinet had taken a decision on September 1 last year for inducting 2,000 standard floor buses through procurement of 1,000 buses by the DTC and engagement of 1,000 vehicles under the cluster scheme.<br \/>\nIt said that the high court had on June 1 this year stayed the implementation of this decision, which was at an advanced stage, and if the stay was vacated, 2,000 standard floor buses would be ready for induction.<br \/>\n&#8220;Thus, GNCTD introduced a new scheme whereby through a tender process concessionaries for nine clusters were selected through bidding process to run these orange buses. As a social responsibility, GNCTD is funding the viability gap between the total operating cost and and fare box collection for operation of buses under the cluster scheme,&#8221; it said.<br \/>\nThe city government said a cabinet decision was taken on May 18 this year to procure additional 2,000 low floor buses which were likely to be procured by May 2020 and the DTC board has also decided to procure 500 low floor CNG buses.<\/p>\n<p>The Delhi government has said that DDA has given its consent for the same, but the matter was pending before the National Green Tribunal.<br \/>\n&#8220;It is assured that if the millennium bus depot complex and aforesaid two parcels of land are made available by the DDA along with additional 15 acres of land, the GNCTD would be in a position to meet the depot space requirement for the fleet of 11,000 buses in Delhi,&#8221; the affidavit said.<\/p>\n<p>It further said that DDA had allotted two parcels of land of 10 acres each at Vasant Kunj and Rohini Sector 32, but despite paying the entire amount to the authority, the land was not handed over to the AAP government as they were in litigation.<br \/>\nThe issue had cropped up when the court was hearing a matter which had raised the issue of air pollution in the Delhi-National Capital Region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi:\u00a0Delhi is facing an acute shortage of public transport as only 5,554 buses against the required number of 11,000 vehicles are plying in the national capital, the Supreme Court was informed today.
