Delhi government has extended the current Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy until March 31, 2026, as the draft of the new policy will undergo public consultation, which is expected to take time, Transport Minister Pankaj Singh said on Tuesday.
Singh said the policy extension was among the matters listed for Tuesday's Cabinet meeting, and it has been decided to extend the same.

The minister said the move aims to facilitate comprehensive consultations with all the relevant stakeholders, including citizens, industry experts, private organisations, and environmental groups.
Singh added that during this extended period, key provisions of the policy will be discussed, including strengthening the EV charging infrastructure, reviewing subsidies and waivers to boost EV adoption, developing robust systems for safe e-waste and battery disposal, and clearly defining the role of the public and private sectors in advancing the electric mobility ecosystem.
The current EV policy -- first introduced in 2020 during the previous Aam Aadmi Party rule -- lapsed in August 2023. The policy has been extended several times since then.
