Now exploring the national capital has become more exciting. Switch Mobility has introduced a special double-decker AC electric bus service under the “Dekho Meri Dilli” sustainable tour initiative, giving visitors a new eco-friendly way to discover Delhi.
Under the Dekho Meri Dilli Sustainable Tour, the national capital has received its first electric double-decker sightseeing service. Operated by Switch Mobility — the electric mobility arm of Ashok Leyland, part of the Hinduja Group — this fully air-conditioned bus can seat up to 65 passengers and offers a claimed single-charge range of 250 km.
The electric AC double-decker bus will depart daily from Dilli Haat at 9:00 AM and return to INA Market around 6:00 PM. During the full-day journey, tourists will pass through several iconic historical, political, and cultural landmarks across the city.
