Delhi Extends EV Policy To Combat Pollution, Boost Adoption

- Advertisement -

As Delhi chokes with its repeated hazardous AQI, Delhi extends its EV policy until March 2025 to boost electric vehicle adoption while a new policy is on its way.

The Delhi Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy has been extended by the Delhi government for another four months, benefiting EV buyers in the national capital. The extension, announced on Thursday, will last until March 31, 2025, marking what is likely to be the final extension since its introduction in 2020.

Initially set for three years, the policy has now been extended for over a year, offering subsidies and tax relief for EV purchases during this period.

This decision comes as Delhi continues to struggle with severe pollution levels. The state government aims to reduce vehicular emissions by promoting the adoption of EVs  across both private and commercial sectors.

The extension of the policy is part of this effort to combat pollution, and a new EV policy is currently being developed and discussed among stakeholders.

Atishi, the Chief Minister of Delhi, noted that the city has seen a significant increase in EV registrations, rising from just 4% in 2019-20 to 12% now, the highest growth rate of any city in India.

She urged residents to purchase electric vehicles in large numbers, highlighting that the EV policy is a critical part of Delhi’s fight against pollution.

Automakers such as JSW MG Motor have welcomed the extension, stating that it will help increase demand for EVs in the city.

The Delhi EV Policy offers several incentives, including up to ₹150,000 off on electric car purchases and subsidies of up to ₹30,000 for electric two-wheelers, rickshaws, and light commercial vehicles. The policy also provides a 25% subsidy on electric cycles, up to ₹5500. Since the policy’s launch in 2020, Delhi has added 4,000 EV charging points and operates 300 electric buses.

In addition, Delhi government’s upcoming EV policy will include further aggressive measures to expand EV infrastructure throughout the city. The city aims to add 1,500 more by the end of this year and reach 8,000 electric buses by 2025, significantly reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality.
