EV Policy 2.0
Delhi's EV Policy 2.0, approved by the state cabinet and set to take effect from July 1, has been unveiled by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta as a key step in the capital's drive toward clean mobility.
The policy commits nearly ₹15,000 crore in government investment over four years, targeting 95% electric vehicle registrations in Delhi by 2027.
It offers full road tax and registration fee waivers on electric cars priced at ₹30 lakh or below. Two-wheeler buyers will receive a tiered subsidy, ₹30,000 in the first year, tapering to ₹20,000 in the second and ₹10,000 in the third, while electric three-wheeler buyers will get a flat ₹50,000 subsidy in the first year.

The policy also introduces a scrapping incentive of ₹1 lakh for owners of BS-IV four-wheelers who retire their older vehicles, aimed at pushing more polluting vehicles off Delhi's roads.
The policy also sets phased deadlines, only electric autorickshaws will be registrable from January 1, 2027, and new petrol/CNG two-wheeler registrations will stop from April 1, 2028.
