The Delhi government has introduced a comprehensive electric vehicle (EV) policy aimed at curbing air pollution in the capital. The draft policy proposes zero registration fees and road tax for electric vehicles priced up to ₹30 lakh (approximately $36,000) until March 31, 2030. Additionally, residents can receive up to ₹1 lakh (roughly $1,200) as a scrapping incentive for trading in old vehicles. The policy emphasizes a gradual decline in incentives over three years for electric two-wheelers, starting with ₹10,000 per kilowatt-hour for the first year. By April 1, 2028, only electric two-wheelers will be registered in the city. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta highlighted that the policy aims to create a sustainable transport system and has earmarked a total outlay of ₹3,954.25 crore (approximately $480 million) for its implementation. This includes funding for purchase incentives, scrapping incentives, and charging infrastructure development. The policy also mandates that 10% of school buses must be electric by 2030 and aims to expand the charging network across Delhi, promoting battery swapping and recycling systems. The initiative is seen as a crucial step in addressing the severe air pollution crisis in Delhi, which has one of the highest levels of vehicular emissions in the world.
