Delhi Government to Seek Approval for New Electric Vehicle Policy 2.0 Soon
The Delhi government plans to present the new Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2.0 for Cabinet approval next week, aiming for implementation by next month as the existing policy expires on June 30. The draft includes a 50% road tax waiver for hybrid vehicles priced up to ₹30 lakh, though subsidy inclusion for hybrids faces some opposition. The policy targets phasing out petrol two-wheelers by 2028 and CNG three-wheelers by 2027, with goals to increase EV adoption and expand charging infrastructure.
