EV Policy Extended Until March 2025

This extension will ensure continued subsidies and tax relief, promoting sustainable transportation options.

Growing Demand for EVs in Delhi

Delhi has emerged as a leader in EV adoption.

• EV registrations grew from 4% in 2019-20 to 12% in 2023-24, the highest in India.
• Out of 6,57,312 vehicles registered last year, 73,610 were electric.
• Over 4,000 EV charging points have been installed in the city since the policy's launch.

Why This Matters

The extension of the EV policy and added incentives like subsidies aim to further boost the demand for electric vehicles. This initiative supports Delhi’s efforts to reduce pollution, promote sustainable transport, and achieve its climate goals.

If you're planning to switch to an electric vehicle, 2024 is a great time to make the shift and take advantage of these benefits!
