Scrapping incentives, including up to Rs 7,500 per vehicle for auto and light commercial vehicle, is being provided by the Delhi Government under Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2020, Parliament was informed on Monday.
The Delhi government notified the Delhi EV Policy 2020 on Aug 7, 2020, with an intention to promote the adoption of clean mobility solution.
The policy aims to establish the feasibility for large-scale adoption of electric passenger four-wheelers, through transitioning its entire government fleet to electric.
“Under the provision, all leased/hired cars used for a commute of GNCTD officers shall be transitioned to electric within a period of twelve months from the date of issue of this policy,” Road Transport, Highways and MSMEs Minister Nitin Gadkari informed Rajya Sabha in a written reply.
