    Delhi Govt To Roll Out New EV Policy Draft By Early January, Big Subsidy Push For Middle Class

    8 hours ago

    The Delhi government led by Rekha Gupta has adopted a zero-tolerance policy on pollution, making it clear that vehicles without a valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate will no longer be spared. Violations will attract a fine of ₹10,000, and the government has indicated it is prepared to approach the courts if required to enforce the rule.

    At the same time, the government is considering running pooled or shared electric buses across Delhi-NCR to curb vehicular pollution. Talks are underway with ride-hailing companies such as Ola and Uber to explore the introduction of electric bus services.

    New Guidelines for E-Rickshaws Soon

    To reduce pressure from private vehicles and promote zero-emission transport, the government plans to issue new guidelines for e-rickshaws shortly. These guidelines will define specific routes and operational zones for e-rickshaws. There is also a focus on improving connectivity in every area through DTC bus services.

    Push to Shift Commuters to Public Transport

    Residents are being encouraged to move away from private vehicles and adopt public transport. All departments have been directed to act swiftly and in coordination to implement pollution-control measures effectively.

    Big Relief for Middle Class in New EV Policy

    Meanwhile, sources say a major update on Delhi’s EV policy is expected soon. The draft of the new EV policy is likely to be released by the first week of January. The policy is being designed to provide significant relief to the middle class, with plans to offer substantial subsidies for two-wheelers under the draft.

    Heavy Subsidies Planned for Commercial Three-Wheelers

    Sources add that shifting two-wheelers from petrol to electric vehicles currently attracts a subsidy of ₹35,000 to ₹40,000. The government is also preparing to offer substantial subsidies for commercial three-wheelers transitioning to EVs. Additionally, owners of petrol or diesel cars priced up to ₹20 lakh may also receive subsidies if they switch to electric vehicles.
