7% vehicles purchased since 2020 in Delhi electric, says Gahlot

Of the total vehicles purchased in the national capital since the introduction of the electric vehicle (EV) policy in 2020, around 7 per cent are EVs, Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said on Monday.

“Delhi is the first state in the country to work so efficiently on the EV policy, which will boost the sale of EVs besides curbing pollution. Delhi will also have the cheapest chargers available in India at only Rs 2,500 for two and three-wheelers by subsiding the rate,” Gahlot said during a press conference on Monday.

Gahlot also said that a subsidy of Rs 6,000 can be availed on the first 30,000 chargers.

“In collaboration with the DTC and other DISCOMS, a single-window system has also been introduced.
