The Delhi government has unveiled its draft Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2026, which proposes significant changes to the city's transportation landscape. The draft aims to ban the registration of new petrol two-wheelers from April 2028 and CNG three-wheelers from January 2027, mandating a shift to electric vehicles in these categories. This initiative is crucial as two-wheelers account for approximately 67% of the vehicle stock in Delhi, contributing significantly to pollution. The government has allocated a total budget of ₹3,954.25 crore (roughly $480 million USD) for the policy's implementation, which includes ₹1,236.25 crore for purchase incentives and ₹1,718 crore for scrapping incentives. While subsidies for private EVs have been removed, the policy offers incentives for electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers, with purchase incentives of up to ₹30,000 for two-wheelers and ₹50,000 for three-wheelers over three years. Additionally, the policy emphasizes battery recycling and mandates the establishment of battery collection centers. Public consultation is open until May 10, 2024, allowing stakeholders to provide feedback before the policy is finalized.
