‘No Concrete Material Before Passing Order’: Delhi HC stays govt order removing Tata from list of subsidised EVs

The Delhi High Court Wednesday stayed the Delhi transport department’s decision to suspend Tata Nexon from the list of eligible electric vehicles for availing subsidy under the government’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy. The government had taken the decision to suspend the vehicle from its subsidy list due to allegations regarding its promised and actual mileage.

Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva in an order said as per the policy and central motor vehicles rules, the eligibility criteria for grant of listing is 140 km per charge and the statutory body Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) has given a certificate to Tata Motors that the vehicle submitted for testing meets the requirement of 312 km per charge.
