Overview
- Delhi’s Transport Department released the draft EV Policy 2026–2030 on Saturday and opened a 30‑day consultation with comments accepted by email or post through May 10.
- The draft sets electric‑only new registrations for three‑wheelers from January 1, 2027 and for two‑wheelers from April 1, 2028, with earlier limits already placed on aggregator and delivery fleets from January 1, 2026.
- Private buyers get full road‑tax and registration‑fee waivers on EVs during the policy, limited to cars priced up to ₹30 lakh through March 31, 2030, while strong hybrids up to that price get a 50% break.
- Purchase subsidies are front‑loaded and then taper over three years, including up to ₹30,000 for two‑wheelers in year one, ₹50,000 for e‑autos in year one, and up to ₹1,00,000 for N1 goods vehicles in year one.
- Scrappage‑linked cash is offered for retiring Delhi‑registered BS‑IV or older vehicles within six months, including ₹10,000 for two‑wheelers, ₹25,000 for three‑wheelers, and ₹1,00,000 for cars for the first 1 lakh applicants, alongside mandates for dealers to host public chargers, single‑window approvals led by DTL for network growth, DPCC‑backed battery collection, and a proposed ~₹3,954 crore outlay.
