Delhi Government’s EV Policy has been welcomed as the most progressive policy across India. Delhi became the first state to fully exempt road tax and registration fees for all EVs. Further, the eligibility criteria were simplified and made universal so that more people can take benefit of the subsidy.

Delhi Government and Discoms have facilitated setting up 201 charging stations with over 380 charging points across Delhi in the past two years – the highest for any city nationally. Another 600 public charging points are to be added by mid-2022. Delhi government recently launched India’s first single window facility to install EV chargers faster (within seven days) and cheaper (under Rs 2,500 for slow charger) than anywhere else in India. The eight-week Switch Delhi campaign, launched by CM Arvind Kejriwal earlier this year, proved to be a milestone in the campaign as well in increasing the awareness of the EV policy.
