Delhi bans petrol two wheelers from 2028, offers up to ₹1 lakh EV incentive under new 2026 policy

The Delhi government has released its EV Policy 2026, which prohibits the sale of new petrol powered two wheelers from 2028 and introduces purchase incentives of up to ₹1 lakh (approximately £950) for electric vehicles. The policy also makes EVs tax free in the capital territory. Republic World reported the announcement, which sets binding targets for the local automotive market.

Why it matters: The ban creates a hard deadline for charging infrastructure rollout across Delhi, forcing CPOs and fleet operators to accelerate two wheeler charging networks. Procurement teams must now plan for a surge in light EV adoption, with incentives likely to drive demand ahead of the 2028 cut off.
