Delhi Plans to Revive EV Subsidies in Push to Curb Pollution

As per The Economic Times reports, the Delhi government is preparing a new push to accelerate electric vehicle adoption, with fresh purchase subsidies planned for electric cars and 2-wheelers.  

The measures form part of a draft electric vehicle policy that is expected to be released for public consultation shortly and implemented from the next financial year. 

Subsidy-Led Push to Narrow EV Price Gap 

As per the report, the proposed incentives will focus on lowering upfront costs for buyers of electric 2- and 4-wheelers. These state-level benefits will complement existing central government incentives available for electric buses, trucks, and smaller electric vehicles. 

Scrappage Incentives and Continuity of EV Benefits 

Alongside purchase subsidies, the government is also preparing a vehicle scrappage incentive scheme aimed at removing highly polluting vehicles from Delhi’s roads. 

The new policy is expected to build on Delhi’s 2020 EV policy, which is currently running under extensions. Existing benefits such as exemptions on road tax and registration fees for electric vehicles are likely to continue under the forthcoming framework.
