Oslo Eyes Delhi’s DEVI E‑Bus Model as Cities Agree on EV Cooperation

Delhi moves to embed a resident Right‑to‑Charge in its next EV policy to expand home and apartment charging access.

Overview

  • Delhi hosted Oslo and Norwegian e‑mobility institutions for a bilateral meeting where officials rode a DEVI route and praised its community‑based scheduling and low fares.
  • Oslo signaled interest in piloting a DEVI‑style last‑mile service and invited Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh to speak at the Nordic EV Summit 2026.
  • Both sides set up a knowledge‑sharing program that includes a Delhi delegation visit to see Norway’s zero‑emission ferries, freight hubs and residential charging corridors.
  • Delhi said EV Policy 2.0 will incorporate an RWA‑centric Right‑to‑Charge, taking cues from Norway’s law enabling charger installations in apartment buildings.
  • Singh reaffirmed a fully electric DTC bus fleet by end‑2026 and announced plans to prioritize zero‑emission machinery and fleets during air emergencies, alongside mandating battery recycling targets.
