Proposed Delhi EV Policy 2.0 aims to make 95 per cent of new vehicle registrations electric by 2027. All CNG auto-rickshaws, taxis and light commercial vehicles will be replaced by electric vehicles (EVs) in a phased manner. The government has also committed to a full transition to electric buses to ensure a sustainable public transport system. A dedicated State EV Fund will be created to finance incentives, sourced through green levies, pollution cess and aggregator licence fees. skill development and job creation are also central to the policy, with plans to generate employment in EV sales, servicing, financing and battery management. The Delhi Skill & Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) will collaborate on training programs for EV mechanics and drivers. The current Delhi Electric Vehicles (EV) Policy, 2020, which was introduced by the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government to promote EV adoption in the capital, expired on August 8, 2024. Since then, it has been extended multiple times, with the latest extension valid until March 31, 2025.
