Delhi Government’s EV Policy 2.0: Petrol Two-Wheelers Banned
⚡ Delhi Government’s EV Policy 2.0: Petrol Two-Wheelers Could Be Banned From 2026
In a bold and progressive move toward clean mobility, the Delhi government is considering banning the registration of new petrol two-wheelers starting January 1, 2026, as part of its proposed Electric Vehicle Policy 2.0. If implemented, this could make Delhi the first Indian city to phase out internal combustion engine (ICE) two-wheelers entirely in favor of electric alternatives.
🌱 The Bigger Picture
Delhi’s air quality has long been a serious concern. Vehicles — especially two-wheelers — contribute heavily to urban pollution. With this move, the government aims to cut down emissions drastically and promote the use of clean-energy alternatives.
Two-wheelers make up nearly 80% of Delhi’s registered vehicles. Switching them to electric could significantly improve the city's air quality.
🔍 Key Points of the Draft EV Policy 2.0
- Ban on Registration: No new petrol two-wheelers to be registered from January 1, 2026.
- Focus on Electrification: Push toward electric two-wheelers as the default choice.
- Existing Vehicles: No impact on currently registered petrol two-wheelers.
- Public Feedback: The draft is open for suggestions before final implementation.
⚙️ What It Means for Consumers & Industry
For Consumers:
- Petrol bikes may no longer be an option in Delhi post-2025.
- Electric options like Ola S1 Pro, Ather 450X, and Bajaj Chetak are now more affordable and accessible.
For Manufacturers:
- EV-focused brands will benefit from the transition.
- Traditional two-wheeler companies need to speed up EV development.
🔋 The Road Ahead
Delhi’s original EV Policy aimed for 25% of all new vehicle sales to be electric by 2024. With the new draft policy, the city is pushing even further — not only promoting EVs but potentially eliminating ICE two-wheelers completely in the coming years.
The plan also includes expansion of EV infrastructure, such as charging stations, battery-swapping facilities, and more local EV manufacturing support.
🚀 Final Thoughts
The proposed policy is ambitious, but necessary. Delhi’s move could be a major turning point for India’s EV landscape. If you're a Delhi resident considering a two-wheeler purchase, 2025 might be the last year to opt for petrol.
With cleaner air and greener roads on the horizon, the shift to electric seems not just inevitable — but essential.
