Delhi's Bold EV Push: No New Petrol Bikes After 2028, Millions Affected
•Delhi government's draft EV Policy 2026-2030 proposes phasing out petrol two-wheelers and three-wheelers to combat pollution.
•New petrol two-wheelers cannot be registered in Delhi after 2028; only electric three-wheelers can be registered from 2027.
•The policy will significantly impact 5 million two-wheelers and millions of daily commuters in the capital.
•Incentives include phased subsidies for electric two-wheelers (up to ₹30,000 initially) and road tax/registration fee exemptions for EVs up to ₹30 lakh until March 2030.
•Focus on expanding charging infrastructure and social initiatives like the Rainbow Fleet for the transgender community.
