The Delhi electric vehicle (EV) policy 2.0 is likely to be finalised in a month, Delhi transport minister Kailash Gahlot said on Monday — two days after the Delhi Cabinet approved the extension of the current framework till December 31.
“Work on the EV Policy 2.0 is in the final stage. Currently, the feedback received from the people and stakeholders is being reviewed. Our aim is to introduce a progressive policy, which encourages further adoption of electric vehicles, so that the contribution of vehicular pollution to bad air in the Capital can be checked,” said Gahlot.
According to officials aware of the matter, the policy is likely to provide further impetus to adoption of electric vehicles in Delhi by providing incentives for retrofitting vehicles running on conventional fuels to electric mode.
