Delhi: 1400 cars added to city's roads every day

From the archive record

Delhi, a city fast becoming the new pollution capital of the world, adds 1400 cars to its roads every day. Over the last decade, the number of vehicles in Delhi has jumped by a phenomenal 97 per cent. In 2000, diesel cars accounted for only 4 per cent of all car sales. Today, half the cars sold run on diesel. In contrast, public transport has not been able to keep pace. Despite a Supreme Court order saying Delhi should have 11000 public transport buses, an estimated 6251 are in service.
