Delhi EV Policy 2026 It has become effective from this month and will run till March 2030. The government has planned to invest about ₹15,000 crore for this, which also includes developing more than 30,000 EV charging points. The policy has provisions like incentives during purchase, complete exemption in road tax and registration fees, incentives on scrapping of old vehicles and ban on ICE vehicles in a phase-wise manner.

The policy also aims to achieve 95 percent EV registration by 2027 and stop registration of new petrol/CNG two-wheelers from 2028. Incentives will be given through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) through a dedicated online portal, which is good for both transparency and ease. Let us know which steps can be followed while buying a new electric vehicle in Delhi to avail full benefit of subsidy.

Select eligible model

Before booking a new electric vehicle, please confirm with the dealer whether the model you are purchasing is approved by the Model Approval Committee of Delhi Government or not. According to government rules, it is mandatory for the dealer to inform the customer about subsidy eligibility at the time of booking. Keep in mind that only 'pure electric' vehicles are eligible for subsidy, there is no exemption for hybrid vehicles.

Generate RC of the vehicle

After purchasing the vehicle, it will be registered by the Transport Department. Car buyers will get 100% exemption on road tax and registration fees here. Your time begins as soon as the Registration Certificate (RC) of your vehicle is officially generated. The government has set a strict time limit for claiming subsidy.

Register on online portal in 30 days

Within 30 days of the vehicle's RC being generated, you will have to register yourself by visiting the new dedicated EV Incentive Portal of Delhi Government. Unlike the old policy, now the dealer will not fill the form for you, it will be the entire responsibility of the vehicle owner.

Claim subsidy by uploading documents

After logging in to the portal, fill in the details of your vehicle (RC number, chassis number etc.). If you had an old BS-IV or older vehicle which you have scrapped, then also upload its valid 'Scrapping Certificate' to get scrappage incentive of up to ₹ 1 lakh. Along with this, enter the correct information of your Aadhar card and bank account (cancelled cheque/passbook).

Verification and money transfer

The application submitted by you will be scrutinized by the Transport Department and Public Financial Management System (PFMS). The entire process is transparent and if all the documents are found to be in order, the subsidy amount will be credited directly into your Aadhaar-linked bank account (through DBT) within 60 days from the date of application.

urgent matter: If you avail any financial subsidy or incentive under the Delhi EV Policy 2026, you will not be able to obtain a 'No Objection Certificate' (NOC) to transfer or re-register that vehicle outside Delhi for the next 3 years from the date of purchase. The government will keep a lock-in period of 3 years on it.

New Delhi. Now 10 year old diesel and 15 year old petrol vehicles have started being seized in the country's capital Delhi. The special thing is that whether these vehicles are moving or parked on the road, both will be confiscated. The Transport Department of Delhi Government has issued a very strict order, which may create chaos in the coming days. Now the department will have the right to confiscate your 10 year old diesel vehicle or 15 year old petrol vehicle without any prior notice. In such a situation, if you have kept these vehicles in your house then be careful now.

According to the notice of Delhi Transport Department, now whether your vehicle is found moving on the road or parked in the parking lot outside your house, the rules will apply equally to both. These seized vehicles will be sent directly for scrap. Often people have a misconception that this rule is only for cars, but the department has made it clear that this order applies to all two-wheeler scooters, bikes and four-wheelers, jeeps, commercial vehicles.

10 year old diesel and 15 year old petrol vehicles seized

If your bike is more than 15 years old, it will also come under the purview of this action. The main objective of the transport department is to reduce toxic smoke and pollution in Delhi, in which old BS-3 and below standard engines are contributing the most.

According to an estimate, there are still around 20 to 25 lakh such vehicles on the streets of Delhi and in the parking lots of homes which have completed their technical life. A large number of these are two-wheelers. Registration of lakhs of vehicles has been canceled in the last few years, but the concern of the department is that these vehicles are still present within the city, which cause pollution from time to time.

This process of removing old vehicles has not started suddenly, but there is a long legal journey behind it:

  • 2014-2015 (NGT order): National Green Tribunal (NGT) for the first time banned the plying of 10 year old diesel and 15 year old petrol vehicles in Delhi-NCR.
  • 2018 (Supreme Court seal of approval): The Supreme Court, while upholding the NGT order, gave strict instructions to the Transport Department that the list of such vehicles should be made public and they should be removed.
  • 2021-22 (Registration Cancellation): Delhi government started canceling the registration of such vehicles on a large scale and released the list of 'de-registered' vehicles.
  • 2023-24 (Extension of scrap policy): The government created authorized scrapping centers in collaboration with private vendors and lured people with tax exemption on surrendering their vehicles themselves.
  • 2026 (Latest Decree): Now the department has adopted the 'zero tolerance' policy and has chosen the path of direct seizure and scrapping, in which no notice of any kind will be given.

How to get NOC and transfer?

If your vehicle is about to reach its end of life, then the department has kept a small way open. You can transfer your vehicle to states outside Delhi-NCR by taking No Objection Certificate (NOC) in time. But remember, once the vehicle is seized, there will be no legal way to get it back or get the NOC.

According to government data of 2025 from the Transport Department, there were about 62 lakh such registered vehicles in Delhi, which included 41 lakh two-wheelers and 18 lakh four-wheelers. But the actual number is less than one-fourth of this, as many vehicles have already been de-registered or taken out of the NCR. Now in the current situation the number of two-wheelers may be around 2-3 lakh.

New Delhi. Delhiites will no longer need to visit government offices to get No Objection Certificate (NOC) to get their old vehicles back or sell them. The Transport Department has launched an online portal, which will make this process completely simple. This step has been taken after strict action started from October 11 against petrol and diesel vehicles which have completed 15 and 10 years respectively.

This portal, developed on the instructions of Delhi High Court, went live on Tuesday and has received more than 100 applications. Officials said the court's directions had come last year when owners of several overage vehicles had filed petitions to get rid of their vehicles. The court had directed the Delhi government's transport department to formulate a policy as well as create an online portal with guidelines for handling 'end-of-life' vehicles (ELVs) in public places.

The application will be resolved within a week
A transport department official said that since the system has been developed for the first time, it will initially take about two to three weeks to process the applications. Later, it will take only a week. The official said, “Everything will be done through a transparent and faceless process. Even payment of fines and submission of commitments can be done online. The department will also have records of first-time and regular offenders.”

According to the data shared by the department, 1,868 vehicles have been seized till October 22 evening. Of these, 50% are e-rickshaws.

Process to get back seized vehicle
People who want to get back their old seized vehicles will have to submit an application on the portal. The scraping cell of the department will scrutinize the application and upload the documents. Owners of vehicles registered in Delhi-NCR who want to register their vehicle outside Delhi will have to give an affidavit that their vehicle will neither be driven nor parked anywhere in Delhi. After this the department will issue NOC.

There will be restrictions on driving and parking
People who have to park their vehicle in a private space in Delhi, which is not part of a shared space, will have to give an undertaking that their vehicle will neither be driven in a public space nor parked in a shared parking space, Even if it is part of a residential complex.

The vehicle owner will have to provide proof of private parking space, issued by the RWA or any relevant authority. Owners of vehicles registered outside Delhi-NCR will have to explain why they are being driven or parked in Delhi, and will also have to give an affidavit that they will not enter Delhi limits in future.

If the application is found satisfactory, the department will issue a release order or NOC. Necessary payment details will also be provided in the order. Owners of four-wheelers will have to pay a fine of Rs 10,000, while for two and three-wheelers the amount is Rs 5,000.

Vehicle owner will have to pay towing charges
Owners will also be required to pay parking and towing fees to the RVSF upon release of the vehicle. Two-wheelers, autos and e-rickshaws will have to pay Rs 200 each (parking and towing charges). For light passenger vehicles like cars, towing fee is Rs 400 and parking fee is Rs 500. This will come into effect 48 hours after the vehicles are seized.
