India’s national capital’s struggles to improve its notorious air quality are well known. The state EV policy focuses on bringing down air pollution levels. The policy imposes a pollution cess on the sale of new petrol/diesel vehicles as well as existing ICE vehicles. It has a target of electrifying half its bus fleet and 25% of the newly registered vehicles by 2023. The policy also encourages charging infrastructure deployment, with plans to install charging stations every 3 kms.
