Overview
- The draft policy would grant a 100% road‑tax exemption for electric vehicles with ex‑showroom prices up to Rs 30 lakh and a 50% road‑tax and registration cut for strong hybrid cars up to the same price cap.
- Delhi officials are actively consulting stakeholders and are considering making the hybrid concession temporary, with proposals reported as either a two‑plus‑one year cap or a window running until March 31, 2030.
- The draft creates a Model Approval Committee to empanel eligible models, requires buyers to apply for incentives within 30 days of RC generation, and mandates subsidy disbursal within 60 days after verification.
- To curb arbitrage and protect revenue, any vehicle that takes an incentive would be barred from getting a No Objection Certificate for transfer or re‑registration outside Delhi for five years.
- The proposal, which prioritises two‑ and three‑wheelers to cut emissions fast, remains under consultation and needs final Cabinet approval before the existing policy expires on June 30, 2026.
