- Delhi's new electric vehicle policy will give purchase subsidies only to electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers fitted with regenerative braking systems that meet prescribed technical standards, with a model approval committee checking compliance.
- Eligible e-two-wheelers must offer a certified range of at least 80km, a three-year or 20,000km warranty, and a price cap of Rs 2.25 lakh, with subsidies starting at Rs 10,000 per kWh (capped at Rs 30,000) in the first year and stepping down over three years.
- Electric autos get flat incentives of Rs 50,000 in year one, falling to Rs 30,000 by year three.
- Officials said the aim is to ensure public funds support efficient, technologically advanced vehicles, though budget and entry-level models — including some locally assembled imported kits — may struggle to qualify.
What to watch next
- Which models clear the model approval committee's verification and qualify for subsidies
- Whether budget-segment and imported-kit manufacturers upgrade to regenerative braking or lose market access
- How quickly buyers move to claim incentives before the subsidy amounts step down each year
