The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is launching a hydrogen-powered shuttle bus service in New Delhi’s Central Vista area from May 15, 2026. A major step has been taken to promote clean, eco-friendly and efficient transportation in the city.
Authorities made the specific decision to link the Central Secretariat and Sewa Tirtha metro stations. This wasn’t a random pick; it was a calculated choice to serve one of the city’s busiest corridors, opting to prove that green technology can handle the high-pressure demands of daily commuters in the government heartland.

The travel from metro stations to offices easier with the launch of hydrogen shuttle bus service. Officials say the move will help reduce dependence on private transport and encourage more people, including government employees, to use public transit. The shuttle buses will connect nearby government offices with Central Secretariat Metro Station and Sewa Tirtha Metro Station.
What is the hydrogen shuttle bus operating time?
- This service will run from Monday to Friday
- Morning: 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM
- Evening: 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM

By choosing to bring the transit to the doorstep of the workforce, they are deciding to eliminate the “last-mile” friction that often leads people to choose their personal cars over the metro.
