1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 LOCATION
The Maharana Pratap Inter-state bus ter-
minus popularly known as Kashmere Gate
ISBT or ISBT, located in Delhi is the oldest
and one of the biggest Inter State Bus Ter-
minals in India. It operates bus services be-
tween Delhi and 7 other regions: Haryana,
Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Himachal
Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Ut-
tarakhand. Spread over an area of about
5.3 acres, it handles over 1800 buses a day.
Delhi Transport Infrastructure Develop-
ment Corporation Limited (DTIDC) was
incorporated on 16 August 2010 under the
Companies Act 1956 as wholly-owned by
Govt. of NCT of Delhi. The Company falls
under the administrative control of Minis-
try of Transport, Govt of NCT of Delhi.

BUS TERMINAL IN DELHI
 1.2 ABOUT THE CITY
Delhi is the capital city of India and
is regarded as the heart of the na-
tion. The city is popular for its en-
riched culture and heritage. The
city hosts some famous historical
monuments and is developing
with the passing of time.
The capital city is divided into two
sections popularly known as Pura-
ni Dilli or Old Delhi and Nayi Dilli
or New Delhi. Old Delhi is popular
for its ancient culture and monu-
ments along with its overcrowded
gastronomical lanes.
The influence of religious diversity
can be seen in the city along with
the cultural impact of the Mughal,
the ancient Indian and the British.
There are many beautiful gardens
in the city, away from pollution and
busy city life that provide opportu-
nities to walk leisurely in the midst

1.3 HISTORY OF THE CITY
Delhi has a long history, and has been
an important political centre of In-
dia as the capital of several empires.
Earliest coverage of Delhi’s history is
in the onset of the Tomar’s kingdom
in the 8th century. Since then, Delhi
has been the centre of a succession
of mighty empires and powerful king-
doms, making Delhi one of the lon-
gest-serving capitals and one of the
oldest inhabited cities in the world.
It is considered to be a city built, de-
stroyed and rebuilt several times, as
outsiders who successfully invaded
the Indian Subcontinent would ran-
sack the existing capital city in Delhi,
and those who came to conquer and
stay would be so impressed by the
city’s strategic location as to make
it their capital and rebuild it in their
own way.
1.4 HISTORY OF THE BUS
STAND
Kashmere Gate ISBT was opened in
1976. It served as the only ISBT in Del-
hi till 1993 when it was transferred
to the Transport Department, after
which two new ISBT’s were created
in Sarai Kale Khan and Anand Vihar
to de-congest the overcrowded Kash-
mere Gate ISBT. It was renovated in
2013 by DIMTS at a cost of ₹ 70 Crores
and then inaugurated in 2013 by then
Chief Minister of Delhi, Sheila Dikshit.
It handles over 2000 buses a day.

2.4 CLIMATE
The Delhi climate is an overlap be-
tween monsoon-influenced &
semi-arid with high variation be-
tween summer & winter tempera-
tures and precipitation. Summer
starts in early April & peaks in late
May or early June, with average tem-
peratures near 38 °C (100 °F) although
occasional heat waves result in highs
close to 45 °C (113 °F) on some days.
The monsoon starts in late June until
mid-September, with about 797.3 mm
of rain. The average temperatures are
around 29 °C (84 °F), although they
can vary from 25 °C (77 °F) on rainy
days to 32 °C (90 °F) during dry spells.
Monsoon recedes in late September
& post-monsoon season continues till
late October, with average tempera-
tures sliding from 29 to 21 °C (84 to 70
°F).
Winter starts in November & peaks in
January, with average temperatures
6–7 °C (43–45 °F). Although winters
are cold, Delhi’s proximity to Himala-
yas results in cold waves leading to
lower apparent temperature due to
wind chill. Delhi is notorious for its
heavy fogs & haze during winter sea-
son. Winter ends by the first week of
March. Extreme temperatures have

THERMAL COMFORT & DAYLIGHT-

ING
Entire building is quite cool in the Coffer Slab
summer because it is heavily lou-
vered on all sides denying direct
sunlight & preventing direct heat-
ing of internal areas. The massive
roof lights over the departure area
aid in natural lighting.The build-
ing becomes very chilly in the win-
ters since it is open on all sides &
there is no protection from the
cold draught whatsoever since
the loading and unloading areas
are partially or wholly covered, this
leads to a lot of the polluted air
getting trapped inside the waiting
Skylight on exterior wall

 STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
The building is a column beam
based structure. Used coffered
slab to achieve large span thereby
reducing the number of column

of the project will make this place
with blend of bus terminal and
commercial facilities is complete-
ly innovative and accommodates

venience for public.
