Electric Vehicle Surge in Delhi: A Green Shift

In the national capital of Delhi, electric vehicle (EV) registrations surged dramatically by 29% during the 2025–26 fiscal year, according to data analyzed by independent research body Envirocatalysts. The increase in EV registrations, from 83,512 in 2024–25 to 1.07 lakh in 2025–26, highlights a shift towards cleaner transportation options.

The growth is attributed to a favorable EV policy and changing consumer preferences. However, despite this shift, conventional vehicles using petrol and CNG still hold a significant share of the market. Petrol and ethanol-blended vehicles dominated with a 73.1% share, while EVs accounted for 12.7% of total registrations.

Expectations for future growth are high, with anticipated government incentives, including scrappage-linked benefits for older vehicles and continued tax exemptions for EV buyers, potentially enhancing the affordability and appeal of electric mobility and further decreasing reliance on traditional fuels.
