No. 87 PART IV GOVERNMENT OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL TERRITORY OF DELHI DELHI GAZETTE : EXTRAORDINARY PART IV] TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT NOTIFICATION Delhi, the 30th June, 2026 F. No. JC/EV/TPT/2026/02/281— Whereas, the Council of Ministers approved the Delhi Electric Vehicles Policy 2026 vide Cabinet Decision No.3349 dated 29.06.2026. Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (3) of section 67, read with clause (41) of section 2 and other enabling provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the rules made thereunder, the Lieutenant Governor of the National Capital Territory of Delhi hereby notifies the Delhi Electric Vehicles Policy, 2026 with effect from 01.07.2026. DELHI ELECTRIC VEHICLES POLICY, 2026 1. Introduction 1.1 Delhi is committed to curb air pollution and accordingly aims to promote and adopt clean mobility transition through targeted incentives, infrastructure development, and strong regulatory measures. The Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2026-2030 (four years) builds on this momentum to accelerate electric vehicle (EV) adoption, improve air quality, and create a supportive ecosystem for electric mobility. The policy will be applicable from the date of the notification. 1.2 The policy draws its inspiration and support from Article 21 of the Constitution of India providing for right to life which construes right to clean air and pollution free environment. Hon'ble Supreme Court in M.C. Mehta Vs. Union of India and Ors has asked to review and revise respective electric vehicle (EV) policies. The policy also draws support from various provisions of the Environment Protection Act 1986, Motor Vehicle (MV) Act 1988, especially Section 67(3) of MV Act 1988, which empowers the State Government notwithstanding anything contain in MV Act 1988, to make schemes for the transportation of goods and passengers for the promotion of development and efficiency in transportation for various causes including last-mile connectivity, improving urban transport, the protection and enhancement of the environment, promotion of energy conservation, improvement of the quality of life etc. 1.3 The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), in its latest report 'Identification of the causes for worsening AQI in Delhi NCR'¹ submitted to Hon'ble Supreme Court, has identified vehicular emissions as the largest contributor (23% during winter) to air pollution in the National Capital Territory of Delhi. Two-wheelers constitute approximately 67% of the total vehicle stock in Delhi, making their rapid electrification critical for achieving meaningful reductions in vehicular emissions. Further, three-wheelers, commercial cars, and N1 category goods vehicles exhibit high daily utilisation and mileage, resulting in a disproportionate contribution to urban air pollution. Accordingly, prioritised electrification of these vehicle segments is essential to achieve sustained improvements in air quality in Delhi. 1.4 This policy emphasises EV incentives, scalable charging infrastructure, clear electrification mandates, and development of supporting systems such as battery recycling and disposal. 2. Policy Objectives * Accelerate adoption of EVs across all major vehicle segments * Support installation of a comprehensive public and private charging network across Delhi * Enable a robust EV supply chain including battery recycling, servicing, and component recovery * Improve air quality by reducing reliance on Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles * Ensure fiscal efficiency and transparent implementation 3. Definitions 3.1 Electric Vehicle shall mean "Battery Operated Vehicle" means a vehicle adapted for use upon roads and powered exclusively by an electric motor whose traction energy is supplied exclusively by traction battery installed in the vehicle.² 3.2 Operational Guidelines shall mean separate detailed instructions issued by GNCTD from time to time for implementation, eligibility verification, and disbursal procedures under this Policy. ¹Identification of the causes for worsening AQI in Delhi NCR, F.No. B-110021/18/Sc-01/2020/CAQM, 19th January, 2026 ² The Central Motor Vehicles Rules 1989 [PART IV DELHI GAZETTE : EXTRAORDINARY 3.3 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) shall mean an element in Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) that supplies electrical energy for recharging the battery of electric vehicles.³ 3.4 Public Charging Station (PCS) shall mean an EV charging station where any electric vehicle can get its battery recharged.⁴ 3.5 Community Charging Station means semi-public charging station installed at Group Housing Societies or other residential accommodations where only residents or authorized visitors can get their EV charged.⁵ 3.6 Battery Swapping Station (BSS) shall mean a station where any electric vehicle can get its discharged battery or partially charged battery replaced by a charged battery.⁶ 3.7 Definitions 3.1 to3.6 shall stand updated as per modifications made by the concerned authorities from time to time. 4.
