TL;DR
Delhi's EV Policy 2026 mandates no new petrol two-wheeler registrations from August 2026 and three-wheelers from January 2027, aiming for 95% EV adoption by 2027.
Recent discussions from early October 2026 highlight key mandates from the Delhi Electric Vehicles Policy 2026, signaling a significant shift towards electric mobility in the capital. The policy stipulates that no new petrol two-wheeler registrations will be permitted from August 2026, and new fossil fuel three-wheeler registrations will be halted even earlier, from January 2027. This aggressive timeline aims to achieve 95% electric vehicle registrations in Delhi by 2027, increasing to 98% by 2030.
Additionally, the policy proposes that a third private car purchased by an individual must be electric. To support this transition, plans are underway to establish 13,200 charging stations across Delhi, ensuring a charging point approximately every 5 kilometers. The Delhi government has allocated a budget of 150 billion rupees for this policy, which also includes various incentives like purchase and scrapping benefits, and 100% road tax and registration fee exemptions for EVs priced up to 3 million rupees.
