More e-vehicles registered in Delhi than those run on CNG in 2 months

NEW DELHI: On August 7 last year, Delhi government launched its Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy. A total of 739 EVs were registered that month. This August saw 2,603 vehicles being registered as the overall share of this category in new registrations showed a spike. Although overall vehicle registration has gone down since the previous years due to Covid-19, the number of EVs being registered in the city has risen steadily.

Not only has the registration of EVs been going up, but with 2,413 of them registered in July, the last two months have logged more electric vehicles being sold in Delhi than purely CNG-run ones. However, registration of CNG-petrol hybrid cars has remained significantly higher every month.
