Delhi EV Policy 2.0: A new Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2.0 has been rolled out by the Delhi Government for promoting clean mobility across the national capital.
Reviewed by the Transport Department, draft recommendations propose sharply increased incentives, major power infrastructure upgrades and support for local manufacturing to meet the growing electronic vehicle (EV) demand of the city.
Delhi EV Policy 2.0 for Two-Wheelers
A subsidy of Rs 21,000 per e2W and a subsidy of Rs 30,000 per vehicle for women buyers has been announced by the draft policy.
Meanwhile, the target for e2W adoption has also been increased from the present 5 lakh vehicles to 12 lakh over the next 3 years. This clearly reflects the drive of Union and Delhi governments to make electronic scooters a powerful mode of urban transport.
Private electronic vehicles that are priced below Rs 25 lakh would qualify for subsidies. The first 27,000 electronic car buyers could get Rs 10,000 per kWh of battery, capped at Rs 1 lakh per vehicle. “This is designed to encourage mass-market EV adoption rather than luxury purchases,” a senior Transport Department official said.
The draft policy also proposed incentives for retrofitting existing diesel or petrol cars to electric power. The scheme offers Rs 50,000 per vehicle for the first 1,000 retrofits.
