The Swami Vivekanand Interstate Bus Terminus (Swami Vivekanand ISBT), commonly referred to as the Anand Vihar Interstate Bus Terminus (Anand Vihar ISBT), is one of Delhi's three Inter-State Bus Terminals. Located in Anand Vihar, it serves as a major hub for bus services connecting Delhi with neighbouring states, primarily Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
History
In 1993, construction of a new ISBT at Anand Vihar began which was completed and opened to the passenger service in March 1996. It was built to decongest the overcrowded Maharana Pratap Interstate Bus Terminus, which was unable to bear the increasing traffic.

In 2026, Dehi announced the Rs7,600 crore plan to upgrade 25 acre Anand Vihar ISBT to additional 79,802 sqm G+1 ISBT mixed use multimodal transport hub, which accommodated 154 bus bays in 2026, will be able to manage 178 bays by 2033, 220 by 2043 and 266 by 2053. 70% (55,861 sqm) will be used for the ISBT operations, 8% for retail shops and food courts, 14% for office spaces, 8% for and a budget hotel. The total proposed built-up area is about 79,802 square metres. Developed in the DBFOT-mode, the concession period for ISBT operations will be 30 years and 90 years for the real estate. ISBT will be upgraded in 24 months, and the real estate development will be over 48 months.[6]
