Delhi Cabinet Approves EV Policy 2026 with Rs 15,000 Crore Investment and Phased EV Registration
Delhi's Cabinet has approved the Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2026, effective from July 1, aiming to accelerate the capital's transition to clean mobility with a Rs 15,000 crore investment over four years. The policy mandates only electric autorickshaws be registered from January 1, 2027, and electric two-wheelers from April 1, 2028. It offers subsidies up to Rs 50,000 for electric two- and three-wheelers, a Rs 1 lakh scrappage incentive for older vehicles, and 100% road tax and registration fee exemptions for electric cars priced up to Rs 30 lakh. Hybrid vehicles are excluded from subsidies. The policy targets 95% electric vehicle registrations by 2027 to reduce pollution and expand EV infrastructure.
