Delhi's proposed EV Policy 2.0 offers up to ₹1 lakh subsidy on electric cars, ₹50k on e-autos, ₹30k on e-bikes, plus road tax waivers, but bars resale of subsidised EVs for five years.

Why this matters

Builds on Delhi's earlier EV Policy 2.0 draft that locks subsidised vehicles for 5 years and caps price at ₹30 lakh, signalling a tighter, anti-flipping subsidy regime alongside its broader retail interventions like mandatory 'Made in India' mall corners.
