This ambitious policy will remain effective till 31 March 2030. Under the new policy, the government’s entire emphasis is on laying a network of charging stations and battery swapping networks in Delhi. This time the government has announced huge subsidy to those buying new electric vehicles, 100% exemption in road tax and huge cash incentive for scrapping old vehicles. Bumper benefit on scrapping old car, scrappage incentive of ₹ 1 lakh on car. If you have a BS-IV or older car and you scrap it and buy a new electric car, then the government will directly give you a scrappage incentive of up to ₹ 1 lakh. Similarly, an additional incentive of Rs 10,000 will be given on scrapping an old two-wheeler and purchasing a new electric two-wheeler and an additional incentive of Rs 25,000 will be given on scrapping an old three-wheeler. This step has been taken to remove old and smoke-spewing vehicles from the roads of Delhi. New mathematics of subsidy on two-wheelers, three-wheelers and cars: The government has fixed the subsidy for different categories of vehicles in a phased manner: Electric two-wheeler: On purchasing the vehicle, subsidy of Rs 30,000 will be available in the first year, Rs 20,000 in the second year and Rs 10,000 in the third year. Electric three-wheeler (e-auto): An incentive of Rs 50,000 will be available in the first year, Rs 40,000 in the second year and Rs 30,000 in the third year. Electric Truck (N1 Category): Heavy discount of up to Rs 1 lakh will be given on the purchase of cargo commercial vehicles. Electric Cars: 100% road tax and registration fees will be completely waived on all electric cars with ex-showroom price up to Rs 30 lakh. Keep in mind, this discount will be valid only on vehicles registered in Delhi. New subsidy portal started from January 3, apply online like this. Delhi government has made the official ‘Delhi EV Subsidy Portal’ live on July 3. To avail the subsidy, buyers will have to apply online on this portal within 30 days of purchasing the vehicle and receiving its RC. At the time of application, necessary documents like identity card, voter ID and RC will have to be uploaded, after which the verification will be completed with the OTP received on the mobile. Within just 60 days of approval of the application, the entire subsidy amount will be transferred directly to your bank account through DBT. Date fixed for complete ban on registration of petrol-CNG vehicles! In the policy, strict timelines have been set to completely transform the automobile market of Delhi: From January 1, 2027: New registration of only e-autos (electric three-wheelers) will be done in Delhi, that is, new permits for petrol-CNG autos will be stopped. From April 1, 2028: Registration of new petrol and CNG two-wheelers (bikes and scooters) will be completely and gradually stopped in Delhi. After this, only electric two-wheelers can be registered in the capital. If you sell the car in other states after taking subsidy, it is not good, there is a lock-in period of 3 years. To prevent fraud, the government has implemented a strict lock-in period of 3 years in this policy. Under this, if you have purchased any electric vehicle by getting subsidy from Delhi Government, then you cannot transfer the registration of that vehicle to any other state for the next 3 years. According to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, to run this entire policy smoothly, a special ‘EV Cell’ and ‘Model Approval Committee’ have been formed under the Transport Department to examine the eligible models, which will include the companies in the scope of subsidy only on the basis of technical standards.
