In a move to push EV culture in India, the government has been putting in a lot of effort from every corner. Again, a new proposal has been initiated by the Delhi government regarding the same. The government said every third private car in every household in the city must be electric.
It has been reported that the proposal already has been approved by the Delhi transport minister Pankaj Kumar Singh. The same will now be presented to the cabinet for further approval.
Reaction By Top Official
Reacting about the new rule a senior transport official said, “The new policy has some bold targets aimed at ensuring EV transition in every vehicle segment. In some categories, we hope that we will be able to achieve 100 percent of new vehicles being registered are EVs in Delhi. We have also developed strategies around how this will be done,” reported HT.
Non-Electric Segment
According to the details no fossil fuel-run three-wheelers will be registered in the city, starting from August 2025. As per the rule, a non-electric two-wheeler will be allowed to get the registration from August 2026.
Fuel Powered Registration
When it comes to registering the petrol, diesel or CNG-run two-wheelers, they will not be allowed from August 2026, said the policy. As far as the three-wheeler segment is concerned, all the CNG-powered autorickshaws over 10 years old, will be retrofitted or replaced by an electric version
This is the part of state government’s agreement about the Electric Vehicles Policy 2.0, ensuring the country walks towards eco-friendly with battery-powered vehicles.
