TL;DR
SIAM has expressed concerns over Delhi's draft EV Policy, warning against a rapid transition for electric two-wheelers due to potential risks.
The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) has raised concerns regarding the draft Delhi EV Policy, specifically cautioning against a potentially rushed transition for electric two-wheelers. SIAM highlighted several risks associated with an accelerated shift, suggesting that a rapid change might not be adequately supported by existing infrastructure or consumer readiness.
The Delhi government's proposed EV Policy for 2026-2030 aims for phased electrification, including potential bans on new petrol two-wheeler registrations within two years. While the policy seeks to curb pollution and promote green mobility, industry stakeholders like SIAM advocate for a more gradual and well-planned transition to ensure stability and avoid disruptions within the significant two-wheeler market.
