Delhi EV Policy — Electric Vehicle Subsidy 2024

What is the Delhi EV Policy?

The Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy provides purchase subsidies and other incentives to residents who buy electric vehicles (EVs) in Delhi. The policy is among the most generous state EV policies in India, offering:

• ₹5,000 subsidy on electric 2-wheelers
• ₹30,000 subsidy on electric 4-wheelers (private cars)
• ₹30,000 subsidy on electric autos and e-rickshaws
• Road tax and registration fee waiver
• Additional incentive for scrapping old petrol vehicles

Subsidy Details by Vehicle Type

Note: Subsidy availability depends on Delhi government budget and ongoing scheme status. Check ev.delhi.gov.in for current applicable subsidies — benefits and limits are revised periodically.

Who is Eligible?

You ARE eligible if:

• You are purchasing a new electric vehicle from a dealer in Delhi
• You are a Delhi resident (Aadhaar with Delhi address, or voter ID)
• The vehicle is registered in Delhi
• You apply within the deadline after purchase (typically 6 months)

How to Claim the Subsidy

Step 1 — Buy an EV from Delhi Dealer

Purchase your EV from any authorized dealer in Delhi. The vehicle must be:

• A new EV (not second-hand)
• Registered in Delhi (at the RTO)
• On the approved vehicle list

Step 2 — Register on EV Portal

1. Go to ev.delhi.gov.in
2. Register with your mobile number and Aadhaar
3. Login

Step 3 — Submit Claim

1. Click "Apply for Incentive"
2. Select vehicle category
3. Enter:
   • Vehicle registration number (Delhi RC)
   • Purchase invoice details
   • Bank account number (for subsidy transfer)
4. Upload:
   • Invoice copy
   • Aadhaar
   • Vehicle RC (registration certificate)

Step 4 — Subsidy Credited

After verification (usually 2–4 weeks), subsidy is credited directly to your bank account via DBT.

Road Tax and Registration Waiver

One of Delhi's biggest EV benefits — you pay zero road tax and zero registration fee when buying an EV in Delhi. This alone saves:

• 2-wheelers: ₹2,000–₹5,000
• 4-wheelers: ₹50,000–₹2,00,000 (depending on vehicle cost)

The waiver is applied automatically at the RTO when you register your EV.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. I bought an electric scooter in UP and registered it there. Can I claim Delhi subsidy?

No. The vehicle must be registered in Delhi to claim Delhi EV subsidy.

2. The portal shows the 4-wheeler subsidy is exhausted. What do I do?

Delhi's 4-wheeler subsidy has a cap (first 1,000 buyers per year). If exhausted, wait for the next cycle announcement or check for alternative benefits (road tax waiver still applies).

3. Can I claim subsidy on an electric e-rickshaw I bought for commercial use?

Yes. E-rickshaws used commercially (passenger transport) are specifically included in the Delhi EV policy with ₹30,000 subsidy.

4. I am an auto driver. Does the Delhi EV policy help me switch to an electric auto?

Yes. Delhi EV policy has specific provisions for converting petrol autos to electric autos — subsidy + interest subsidy on the conversion loan. Contact the Transport Department for auto conversion details.

5. Is the road tax waiver automatic or do I apply for it?

The road tax waiver is automatic — when your electric vehicle is registered at the Delhi RTO, no road tax is charged. You don't need to apply separately for this.
