Overview
- The Delhi government said Friday that it has received 5,678 applications for incentives under the Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2026 since the scheme took effect on July 1.
- Officials have processed 1,664 applications and disbursed ₹4.8 crore in total, leaving a large share of approved funds already paid out to early beneficiaries.
- Demand is heavily concentrated in two‑wheelers, with 5,621 applications in that category and about ₹4.6 crore of the disbursed amount going to two‑wheeler buyers.
- A backlog remains large: 4,014 applications are still under process, and only 41 new EV buyers have so far received scrappage incentives for turning in older vehicles.
- Key policy features include time‑tiered incentives for two‑ and three‑wheelers, a full road‑tax and registration waiver for EV cars priced up to ₹30 lakh, and scrappage bonuses that could steer older‑vehicle owners toward EV purchases.
