The Delhi government's draft electric vehicle (EV) policy proposes to slam the brakes on the registration of autos running on compressed natural gas (CNG) and two-wheelers fuelled by petrol from 2027 and 2028, respectively. Open for public consultation, the draft policy, if implemented, would make Delhi the first place in India to put an end to the sale of two- and three-wheelers powered by internal combustion engines (ICEs). ADVERTISEMENTThe draft policy increases incentives for scrapping hydrocarbon-fuelled vehicles and purchasing EVs. Only electric three-wheelers will be permitted for registration from January 1, 2027, and electric two-wheelers from April 1, 2028, according to the draft policy. This includes ₹1,236.25 crore for purchase incentives, ₹1,718 crore for scrapping incentives and ₹1,000 crore for charging infrastructure development.
