Garhwa TVS (2 wheeler & EV), Murka, garhwa

New Delhi is at the frontline of India’s battle against air pollution, and now the capital has taken its boldest step yet. The Delhi govt has officially approved the Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2.0 (2026-2030), making New Delhi the first territory in India to establish a legal framework for “Electric Only Option” on the roads. For e-scooter buyers in Murka, garhwa, the policy could make switching to an electric two-wheeler more affordable through subsidies, scrappage incentives and road tax exemptions.

Delhi EV Policy 2.0 Deadlines

The policy highlights a bold commitment to transform Delhi’s mobility landscape, and it is a direct response to persistent air quality challenges that have long plagued the region.

Fleet & Commercial Electrification

Fleet and commercial vehicles are targeted aggressively in Delhi EV Policy 2.0 as they contribute disproportionately to the city’s air pollution.

An Overview of Delhi EV Policy 2.0

The Delhi EV Policy 2.0 draft is a comprehensive roadmap that balances financial incentives for new/existing buyers and an EV infrastructure push to make electric mobility practical. Here are some key highlights.

• Two-wheeler buyers who scrap an old BS4 vehicle are eligible for a flat ₹10,000 incentive directly to their bank account.

• Three-wheeler owners get a direct purchase incentive of ₹50,000 (1st year) with a scrappage incentive of ₹25,000 (only in 1st year).

• 7000 new EV charging points and 100 battery swapping stations are to be added in 2026, with a target to reach 36,000 charging points by 2030 to ensure hyperlocal accessibility.

• The policy targets 100% electrification of garbage collection and utility vehicles by the end of 2027.

• Buyers in Delhi can stack Delhi state subsidy + Central PM E-Drive benefit + Scrappage bonus (with old two-wheeler) + 100% RTO waiver.

• 100% road tax exemption on new electric two-wheelers, applicable till 31st March 2030.

State Purchase Subsidy Structure

Delhi EV Policy 2.0 features a kWh-based direct purchase subsidy for electric two-wheelers priced under ₹2.25 Lakh (ex-showroom). To encourage immediate adoption, the policy focuses on a year-by-year tapering model.

• Year 1 (2026-2027) - ₹10,000 per kWh, capped at a maximum of ₹30,000.

• Year 2 (2027-2028) - ₹6,600 per kWh, capped at a maximum of ₹20,000.

• Year 3 (2028-2029) - ₹3,300 per kWh, capped at a maximum of ₹10,000.

Why was EV Policy 2.0 needed?

The short answer is Policy 1.0 (2020-2024) worked, but the impact was limited.

The EV policy 1.0 did make strides as New Delhi became the “EV Capital” with the highest adoption rate for EVs in the country. However, the difference between the goal and reality was drastic.

• Parallel Fleet Concern: new EVs were added, yet older and more polluting vehicles were still running without a dedicated roadmap for scrappage.

• Interoperability: with a range of chargers and connector types, consumers found it difficult and unreliable to depend on public charging infrastructure.

• New vehicles compatible with the type 6/7 connector (DC fast charger) might not support charging with the original Bharat AC-001 connector (public charger) that the government initially rolled out, making interoperability a big challenge.

• Gig worker Challenge: delivery workers found that affordable EVs lacked the required range for a full shift, while the options with a bigger battery pack were significantly expensive.

However, with the launch of TVS Orbiter offering an IDC range of 158* km, which is priced below 1 lakh INR, TVS Motor has certainly eliminated the range anxiety barrier in the affordable EV segment.
