Delhi EV Policy 2.0: Govt Vehicles & Buses
The first draft of the Delhi EV Policy 2.0 also aims to electrify institutional fleets. As per the policy, all new vehicles to be procured by the state government will be electric. Hired and leased government vehicles will completely shift to EVs from the date of implementation of the policy. The draft introduces a phased adoption of electric buses for schools as well. By the second year after the implementation of the policy, at least 10 per cent of a school’s whole fleet should comprise electric buses, and by the third year, this share should rise to 20 per cent. By 2030, 30 per cent of all school buses should be 30 per cent.
