Delhi Cabinet Approves EV Policy 2026 with Rs 15,000 Crore Investment and Phased EV Transition
Delhi's Cabinet approved the Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2026, effective from July 1, aiming to accelerate the capital's transition to electric mobility by 2030. The government plans to invest Rs 15,000 crore over four years to expand charging infrastructure and offer purchase incentives, including subsidies up to Rs 30,000 for electric two-wheelers and Rs 1 lakh scrappage incentives for older vehicles. The policy mandates only electric autorickshaws from January 2027 and electric two-wheelers from April 2028 for new registrations, while excluding hybrid vehicles from benefits. It also includes tax exemptions for electric cars priced up to Rs 30 lakh and provisions to support commercial vehicle electrification.
