Expert Panel Proposes Phased Electric Vehicle Transition in Delhi-NCR by 2030
An expert panel under the Commission for Air Quality Management has proposed a phased transition to electric vehicles in Delhi-NCR, aiming for 100% electric car sales by 2030. The plan includes immediate removal of older BS-1 to BS-3 vehicles, phased exit of BS-4 vehicles by 2030, and gradual withdrawal of BS-6 two- and four-wheelers by 2035 and 2040. The roadmap also mandates zero-emission targets for various vehicle categories starting 2027 to reduce pollution during peak seasons.
