The Delhi 2.0 electric vehicle policy will not allow the purchase and registration of the three and two non -electric wheels in the national capital, leaving the cars, bicycles and scooters of EVs the only option for future buyers.
The final objective of Delhi EV’s policy, which is being written and can take another week to be final, is that 95% of new vehicle records in the city should be electric by 2027.
Speaking to News18, an official of the Department of Transportation of Delhi, said that before the end of the draft, the government is receiving comments and suggestions from the interested parties so that the policy is “robust.” They added that there is a plan to eliminate the gradual elimination of two and three wheels that are not -vs.
“Many things are also being considered for the new policy. We are also talking about the elimination of the two wheels that are not EV. There are many things that the government must cover before forming the new rules, including what will happen for you and you and three adorations of towing or age towing for existing vehicles for existing vehicles or that will be allowed until they are adjusted to use,” said the official.
For four -wheeled vehicles that operate with gasoline and diesel, there is an age limit of 15 and 10 years, respectively. These vehicles, once they complete age from the registration day, are not allowed in the limits of the city. The policy is expected to be expected to be expected in the coming weeks, and added that there is no set of deadlines for it.
Why two wheels?
Earlier this month, a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) was published that said the city has 75.56 two -wheeled LAKH. This represents 66% of the total registered vehicles, as of March 31, 2019.
The report on the prevention and mitigation of the air pollution of the vehicle, said that when the scheme of even even even gave an exemption to the two -wheeled vehicles, which “defeated the objective of the scheme was implemented.”
The report also said that two-wheeled vehicles were exempt from the AMIT and the range of Odd-even without expert opinion to evaluate the impact of providing exemptions.
The EV Proposal policy also suggests that all EVs of Auto-Rickshaws, Taxis and light commercial vehicles must be replaced by EVs gradually.
“These measures are planning taking into account the long -term need of the city and in line with the initiative of promotion of the Government of the EV Promotion Union,” added the official.
The policy of proposing aims to accelerate Delhi’s transition to electric mobility, “reinforcing its position as leader of India in the adoption of EV”. The official also said that when the Government talks about the replacement of vehicles that use traditional fuels, it is also considering Hurhase incentives for two -wheeled electric vehicles, three -wheeled vehicles, commercial vehicles of electronic light and ethrucks.
“Politics also includes drainage and modernization incentives to promote the change of internal combustion motor vehicles (ICE) to EV,” says an official government statement.
Building EV infrastructure
Every time EV promotion is discussed, an important challenge is the development of infrastructure that, according to the government, will be covered in the new policy, since it will sacrifice broad points of public loading.
“The policy requires cargo stations in new buildings and public spaces, offers capital subsidies for private and semi -public cargo stations, and establishes fast -charged corridors along the main roads, including the Ring Road and the Outdoor Ring Road,” the government said.
The policy also proposed that a dedicated EV Fund to finance incentives, obtained through green taxes, contamination cesss and aggregator license rates.
“Politics also requires electrification of the fleet for commercial transport and strengthens regulatory measures to guarantee compliance,” they said.
For a city like Delhi, where air pollution is an important challenge, EV’s policy also aims to achieve the general objective of improving air quality.
