Delhi EV Policy: The Delhi government has launched a powerful revolution on the capital’s roads with its new Electric Vehicle Policy 2026 (Draft). If you’re planning to buy a new electric car or bike in 2026, this new draft from the Delhi government will open the door to significant savings.
To combat pollution, the government has announced a 100% road tax and registration fee waiver on electric cars up to ₹30 lakh. In this article, we will provide a detailed analysis of each of the powerful benefits, significant subsidies, and robust savings calculations of the Delhi EV Policy 2026 that will make your next ride incredibly affordable.
Electric Cars
The Delhi government has drawn a powerful and decisive line for electric cars. Now, all electric cars priced below ₹30 lakh (ex-showroom) will receive a 100% road tax and registration fee waiver until March 31, 2030. This is encouraging news for customers considering vehicles like the Tata Nexon EV or Mahindra XEV. However, premium electric cars priced above ₹30 lakh will not receive any significant exemption, ensuring the government’s focus remains on robust and affordable vehicles for the common man.
Strong Hybrid Vehicles
For the first time, the Delhi government has announced significant relief for Strong Hybrid vehicles. Vehicles like the Maruti Suzuki Invicto, Grand Vitara, Toyota Hycross, and Honda City Hybrid will now receive a 50% road tax waiver. This is a strong option for those seeking a robust and reliable hybrid engine before making the switch to all-electric. This strong decision will dramatically reduce the on-road price of hybrid cars, potentially resulting in significant savings of up to ₹1.45 lakh.
Two-Wheelers and Three-Wheelers

The policy outlines a robust and phased subsidy plan for two-wheelers and three-wheelers. Electric two-wheelers will receive a flat subsidy of ₹10,000 per kWh (maximum ₹30,000) in the first year, which will gradually decrease in subsequent years. Furthermore, the purchase of an e-auto will receive a robust cash subsidy of ₹50,000 in the first year. The government’s firm goal is to convert all three-wheelers in Delhi to electric by 2027. An additional ₹10,000 subsidy will also be provided for two-wheelers upon scrapping an old vehicle.
Scrappage Incentive
If you scrap your old petrol or diesel car and purchase a new electric car, you can earn a robust scrappage bonus of up to ₹100,000. This benefit will be rolled out to the first 100,000 customers. Buyers will need to provide proof that they scrapped their old vehicle registered in Delhi. This robust initiative will help eliminate polluting vehicles from Delhi’s roads and significantly reduce the cost of your new electric vehicle.
