Delhi is set to exempt electric cars priced below ₹30 lakh from road tax and registration fees as part of its push towards electric mobility. Furthermore, the sale of new petrol-powered two-wheelers will be prohibited from 2028.
The Delhi government is intensifying its efforts to promote electric vehicles (EVs) with significant incentives. Electric cars with a sticker price of up to ₹30 lakh will now be eligible for full exemption from road tax and registration charges, making them more accessible to a wider consumer base.
This move is a key component of the city's broader strategy to reduce vehicular pollution and transition towards sustainable transportation. By making EVs more affordable, the administration aims to encourage a faster adoption rate among residents.
In a further significant step towards phasing out fossil-fuel-dependent vehicles, Delhi plans to ban the sale of all new petrol-powered two-wheelers starting from the year 2028. This policy targets the segment that contributes substantially to urban air pollution.
