Electric vehicles accounted for nine per cent of the total vehicle sales in Delhi during September-November, six times higher than the national average, the city government said on Tuesday.
Delhi is emerging as the EV capital of India, it said in a statement.
The national capital is doing everything possible to reduce its contribution to pollution, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said.
“I’m glad Delhi is emerging as the EV capital of India with a 9% share of EVs. Delhi is doing everything possible to reduce its contribution to pollution,” he tweeted.
Delhi’s progressive electric vehicle policy has turned out to be a huge success, and sale of electric vehicle is rising fast, Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said.
