Delhi's EV Policy Draft and Rising Electric Three-Wheeler Market in FY26

Delhi's draft Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2026-30 aims to accelerate electrification, including a proposed ban on new petrol two-wheeler registrations by 2028, reflecting the city's growing EV market with over 1.07 lakh registrations in FY 2025-26. Meanwhile, three-wheelers have seen a significant shift, with electric models capturing nearly 61% market share in FY26, surpassing CNG and diesel, driven by cost efficiency and predictable routes, signaling a broader transition in urban mobility.
