Earlier this month, the government had exempted road tax on battery-operated vehicles in the national capital. In addition to this, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the decision is another crucial step towards ensuring a pollution-free Delhi.
Kejriwal in August had announced the Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2020, promising to waive road tax and registration fee and to provide an incentive of up to Rs 1.5 lakh on the purchase of four-wheelers, Rs 30,000 on two-wheelers, auto-rickshaws, e-rickshaws and freight carriers.
However, the main focus of the policy is to enhance adoption of electric vehicles in Delhi by motivating their purchase and use and raising registration to five lakh by 2024.
