Delhi govt clears EV policy,no petrol bikes in Delhi from April 2028

The Delhi government has approved an ambitious electric vehicle policy that eliminates registration fees and road taxes for EVs priced up to Rs 30 lakh, offers a Rs 1 lakh incentive for purchasing new EVs while scrapping old vehicles, and mandates that only electric two-wheelers can be registered starting April 2028. However, the government dropped all types of hybrid vehicles from the incentive scheme despite steady sales growth in the segment. As part of the policy, only electric autorickshaws will be registered in Delhi from January 1, 2027, while registration of new petrol and CNG two-wheelers will be phased out, with only electric two-wheelers to be registered from April 1, 2028. Addressing a press conference, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that around Rs 15,000 crore will be invested under the new policy over the next four years to promote electric mobility and reduce vehicular pollution in the national capital.

Under the new policy, people buying e-two-wheelers will get a subsidy of Rs 30,000 in the first year, Rs 20,000 in the second year and Rs 10,000 in the third year. Buyers of N1 category electric trucks will receive a purchase incentive of up to Rs 1 lakh, according to an official. The policy also provides a scrapping incentive of Rs 1 lakh for owners of BS-IV four-wheelers or below standard who scrap their vehicle. An official said no subsidy will be provided for hybrid vehicles. A dedicated online portal will be developed to enable applicants to apply for EV-related incentives under the policy.
