Delhi’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2026 is being implemented from today onwards. In this regard, the Delhi Government issued a Gazette notification stating that the policy has been issued by the Transport Department under the relevant provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

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 rupee 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. The 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 thousand crore rupees through this policy.
