Delhi's Electrifying Offer: Up to ₹1 Lakh for Scrapping Old Cars

The Delhi government has unveiled a draft policy offering substantial incentives for residents who switch to electric vehicles. Under the draft Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2026-2030, individuals scrapping their BS-IV and below vehicles are eligible for up to ₹1 lakh in incentives when purchasing new electric cars.

The policy stipulates that these incentives will be provided if the purchase occurs within six months of obtaining a Certificate of Deposit from an approved scrapping facility. Additionally, a ₹50,000 incentive is proposed for electric four-wheeler goods carriers, and varying amounts for two and three-wheelers.

Further benefits under this policy include a full exemption from road tax and registration fees for electric vehicles priced under ₹30 lakh, while electric cars over this threshold will not receive these exemptions.
