Electric vehicle policy: Delhi govt to roll out subsidy scheme
The Delhi government is likely to roll out from next week the subsidy scheme under its newly-launched electric vehicle (EV) policy. The EV policy of the Delhi government was notified last month. Launching the policy, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had said it aimed at registration of around five lakh electric vehicles in the city in the next five years. A demonstration of software for disbursal of the subsidy under the policy was made by officials of a private bank in a meeting with transport minister Kailash Gahlot on September 9. Under its EV policy, Delhi government will give incentive of up to Rs 30,000 for two-wheelers, autos, e-rickshaws and goods carriers while a subsidy of Rs 1.5 lakh will be provided for purchase of electric cars.
