The Delhi Government has approved EV Policy 2.0, committing an investment of ₹15,000 crore over the next four years to accelerate electric mobility in the national capital. The policy, which comes into effect on July 1, aims to promote EV adoption through subsidies, scrapping incentives, and revised vehicle registration norms.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced that the government has set an ambitious target of ensuring that 95% of all new vehicle registrations in Delhi are electric by 2027.
Under the new policy, only electric auto-rickshaws will be registered in Delhi from January 1, 2027, while registration of new two-wheelers will be restricted to electric models from April 1, 2028.
To make EVs more affordable, the government will provide a subsidy of ₹30,000 for electric two-wheelers and ₹50,000 for electric three-wheelers during the first year of the policy. Owners of BS-IV four-wheelers will also receive a scrapping incentive of ₹1 lakh for replacing older vehicles with cleaner alternatives.
Although the draft policy had proposed a 50% road tax waiver for hybrid vehicles priced up to ₹30 lakh, the final EV Policy 2.0 does not include any subsidy or tax benefits for hybrid vehicles.
The Delhi Government believes the new policy will significantly boost clean mobility, reduce vehicular pollution, and strengthen the capital’s position as a leader in electric vehicle adoption.
