Delhi’s free‑pass scheme for mid‑size electric trucks gets zero uptake

The Delhi administration announced a free‑pass programme aimed at encouraging operators of mid‑size electric trucks to use the city’s roads without paying entry fees. The incentive was part of a broader push to reduce emissions and promote cleaner logistics in the capital. However, data obtained by Livemint shows that no truck owners have taken up the offer since its launch. Officials said the scheme was intended to accelerate the shift to electric freight vehicles, but the lack of response suggests either low awareness or operational challenges for fleet owners. The government is expected to review the policy and consider additional measures to make electric trucks more attractive to the transport sector.
