Delhi EV policy keeps hybrids out, includes 3-year lock-in period

Delhi's new EV policy, effective July 1, prioritizes pure electric vehicles, excluding hybrids. It offers substantial road tax and registration fee exemptions for electric cars under Rs 30 lakh, alongside a Rs 1 lakh incentive for scrapping old cars to buy new EVs. Subsidies are also available for electric two and three-wheelers, aiming to significantly curb pollution and boost clean mobility.
