Delhi receives over 5,500 EV incentive applications under new policy

Delhi's government reports that over 5,500 individuals and firms have applied for subsidies under the newly announced electric‑vehicle incentive scheme. The policy, unveiled earlier this year, provides financial assistance for the purchase of electric two‑wheelers, three‑wheelers and passenger cars, aiming to accelerate EV adoption and curb air pollution. Officials said the volume of applications exceeds early expectations, reflecting strong market interest. Applications will be evaluated and incentives disbursed in phases, with the first tranche expected by the end of the current quarter. The scheme forms part of Delhi's broader climate action plan, which also includes expanding charging infrastructure and tightening emission standards.
