Delhi Government has proposed a new set of incentives to accelerate electric vehicle adoption under its draft Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2026-2030, including a 100 per cent exemption on road tax and registration fees for electric cars priced up to ₹30 lakh.
According to the draft policy, the incentives will apply to eligible electric cars registered in Delhi until March 31, 2030. However, electric vehicles priced above ₹30 lakh will not qualify for these exemptions. The proposal also includes a 50 per cent reduction in road tax and registration charges for strong hybrid vehicles, aimed at encouraging broader adoption of cleaner mobility solutions.
In a major push for last-mile electrification, the draft policy proposes that starting January 1, 2027, all new three-wheeler registrations in Delhi will be restricted to electric models only. The move is expected to significantly accelerate the transition to electric mobility in the city’s commercial transport segment.
The draft policy aims to build on the progress made under the earlier Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2020, which was introduced in August 2020 to address vehicular pollution and promote EV adoption. While the original policy was initially set for three years and ended in August 2023, it has since been extended multiple times.
The Delhi government has opened the draft policy for public consultation, inviting feedback and suggestions over the next 30 days before finalizing the new framework. The updated policy is expected to further strengthen the electric mobility ecosystem, improve air quality, and accelerate EV adoption across the national capital.
