The Parivartan Scheme was approved by the Delhi Government to promote cleaner transportation and reduce vehicular pollution in the National Capital Region (NCR). The scheme encourages owners of old BS-IV and older commercial vehicles to replace them with BS-VI-compliant or electric vehicles through incentives such as tax exemptions, registration fee waivers, interest subsidies, and manufacturer discounts. It covers goods vehicles and buses and is expected to benefit around 2.7 lakh operators in Delhi-NCR. The initiative also supports the objectives of the Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2026 and aims to accelerate the transition toward sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility.
