New Delhi introduced the draft Electric Vehicle Policy 2.0 (2026–2030) to boost the adoption of electric vehicles and reduce pollution levels. The policy includes significant incentives such as tax exemptions, subsidies for electric two-wheelers and commercial vehicles, and scrappage benefits for older vehicles. It also outlines strict measures like banning new petrol-powered two-wheelers from 2028 and mandating electric transitions for certain vehicle categories. These steps are part of a broader effort to tackle air pollution and promote sustainable urban mobility in the capital city of India.
