Delhi EV Policy: Avail Tata Power-DDL EV charging solutions

by Mansi L. Be happy

In 2020, the government of the National Capital Territory launched the Switch Delhi campaign to boost sales and create an ecosystem of Electric Vehicles in Delhi. EVs have emerged as a sustainable mode of transport and to reduce air pollution, the Delhi Government EV Policy is considered one of the better policies around the globe. Under this policy, the government has offered subsidies worth Rs. 100 Crore on EVs and waived off road tax and registration fees. 

 

The Delhi Government EV Scheme is a combination of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives. The fiscal incentive structure comprises scrapping incentives on the de-registration of old vehicles, interest waivers, and purchase incentives, whereas the non-fiscal incentives address the issue of green registration plates, road-tax waivers, single-window clearances, and license-free waivers.


The government aims to achieve 25 percent electric vehicles among total vehicle registrations by 2024. Besides, the focus is also to create a wide network of electric vehicle charging stations. As of now, Delhi has 2,000 charging stations and the aim is to make station points available in a radius of every three kilometers.  

 

EVs eligible under Delhi electric vehicle policy:


  • E-Cycles 
  • Two-Wheelers 
  • E-Auto Rickshaw
  • E-Rickshaws and E-Carts 
  • Four Wheelers 
  • Light Commercial Vehicles

 

Subsidy Policy to promote EV  

The government is leveraging extensive subsidies on two and four-wheelers under their EV policy. A single window facility was launched in coordination with DISCOMs for the installation of charging points for private EVs. To avail the charging stations, a consumer can visit the Tata Power-DDL EV portal or call Tata Power-DDL Sampark Kendra @19124. A total of Rs. 2500 will be charged for the installation which will be completed within seven working days after the submission of the request. 

Vehicular emissions are said to be one of the major setbacks for the high levels of air pollution in the National Capital Territory and to restore the air quality levels, the government is taking progressive steps. To support eco-friendly business models, Tata Power-DDL is promoting EV adoption and facilitating public charging stations and battery swapping in its licensed area.
