The UT administration has decided to halt registration of non-electric two-wheelers from the first week of October and even non-electric four-wheelers by December, as the number of such vehicles permitted in 2023, as per the Electric Vehicle (EV) policy, is expected to be met by then.
UT had rolled out its EV Policy in September 2022, applicable for five years, during which it plans to gradually stop registering fuel-run vehicles to dissuade people from buying vehicles that cause pollution.
“According to the policy target, only 12,076 two-wheelers with internal combustion engines (ICE) are to be registered in the city till December this year.
