Delhi to introduce electric tourism buses connecting 21 heritage sites

Delhi is getting two new electric buses just for tourists.

These buses will be air-conditioned and run on electricity, which is better for the environment.

They will take visitors to 21 special places in Delhi, like temples, old forts, and cultural landmarks.

The places are grouped into four fun routes with names like 'The Soul of Delhi' and 'Echoes of Delhi'.

One route includes the Lotus Temple and Akshardham Temple.

Another route includes Jantar Mantar and old temples.

The buses are part of a plan to make tourism cleaner and greener.

The city's transport company, called DTTDC, is looking for a company to build the buses.

The buses will cost about Rs 2.10 crore.

This is part of Delhi's new electric vehicle policy.
