The draft of the fresh Delhi Electric Vehicle (EV) policy, 2020, is ready, and will be presented before the cabinet after discussions with the state transport minister Kailash Gahlot, transport department officials involved in the drafting process said on Saturday.
The policy, implemented in August 2020, expired on August 31. The government, however, extended the provisions of the policy, notably the subsidies provided on buying a vehicle.
The Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy — one of the flagship plans of Delhi’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government — was aimed at fighting high levels of air pollution in the city by cutting vehicular emissions.
