TL;DR
Delhi's new EV Policy 2.0 proposes a phased ban on fossil fuel two-wheelers from 2028, alongside financial incentives and charging infrastructure expansion, to rapidly boost electric mobility.
The Delhi government has introduced its draft Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2.0 (2026-2030), outlining an aggressive strategy to significantly curb vehicular pollution and accelerate the capital's shift towards cleaner mobility. This comprehensive roadmap, currently open for public consultation, proposes a blend of financial incentives, regulatory measures, and a substantial expansion of charging infrastructure to boost EV adoption across all vehicle categories.
A key highlight of the draft policy is the continuation of strong financial incentives, including a 100% waiver on road tax and registration fees for EVs priced up to ₹30 lakh. In a major policy shift aimed at rapidly increasing the share of EVs, the draft suggests a phased ban on fossil fuel-powered vehicles, potentially prohibiting new registrations of petrol two-wheelers from 2028 and gradually phasing out petrol, diesel, and CNG three-wheelers even earlier. The policy also emphasizes widespread public charging stations and battery swapping facilities.
