TL;DR
Delhi's upcoming EV Policy 2.0 proposes road tax and registration fee exemptions for electric and strong hybrid cars up to ₹20 lakh, making them more affordable.
Delhi's government is set to introduce an updated Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2.0, which could significantly reduce the cost of electric and strong hybrid cars in the capital. A key proposal within the new policy includes extending the existing road tax and registration fee exemptions, currently available for e-rickshaws and electric two/three-wheelers, to electric cars and strong hybrid vehicles with an ex-showroom price of up to ₹20 lakh.
This strategic move aims to broaden the appeal of eco-friendly vehicles and further combat vehicular pollution. While the final details are pending approval in the upcoming Budget session, extending these benefits to strong and plug-in hybrid EVs marks a significant step towards a more inclusive green mobility ecosystem in Delhi.
