Delhi begins implementation of Electric Vehicle Policy 2026

Delhi’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2026 is being implemented from today onwards. As per the new policy, EV cars priced up to 30 lakh rupees have been exempted from registration fees and road taxes. The new policy also offers a 1 lakh rupees incentive for purchasing new EVs while scrapping old vehicles, and mandates that only electric two-wheelers can be registered starting April 2028.

Set for a phased four-year rollout, the ambitious framework commits a massive fiscal outlay of 15,000 crore rupees to completely transition the national capital toward zero-emission transit by 31st March 2030. The policy focuses entirely on electric vehicles, specifically zero-emission vehicles, with the ultimate goal of gradually transforming Delhi into a pollution-free city for the benefit of its residents.

Delhi government is planning to invest 8,000 crore rupees in creating EV infrastructure and waiving road taxes year-on-year. It is expected that Delhi citizens will receive benefits worth approximately 15,000 crore rupees through this policy.
