New Delhi, July 1 -- The Delhi government on Wednesday launched the Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2026, its most ambitious push toward vehicle electrification to date, backed by a Rs 7,000 crore outlay and active until 31 March 2030.

The policy sets out a phased timeline to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles across key categories, underpinned by direct purchase subsidies, scrappage incentives, and a target of over 30,000 active charging points across the capital.

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the policy presented a comprehensive roadmap for a long-term clean transport framework, integrating charging infrastructure, battery swapping, battery recycling, energy management, and digital service delivery.
