News 18  

Delhi Transport minister Kailash Gahlot on Sunday urged commercial vehicle owners to convert half of their fleet to electric by 2023, saying a five per cent interest subvention scheme will be soon launched for them. The minister also urged commercial vehicle owners to move from conventional to fully electric vehicle fleets under the ‘Switch Delhi’ campaign by 2025. Delhi’s Electric Vehicle policy provides the most favourable policy framework across India for commercial vehicles to transition to electric vehicles, including financial incentives, low-interest loan, and exemption from no-entry restrictions, Gahlot said. In the seventh week of ‘Switch Delhi’ campaign, emphasis will be on creating awareness among commercial vehicle owners operating fleets of two-wheelers, three-wheelers, cab aggregators, goods carriers and freight vehicles – thereby targeting a large group to adopt and promote electric vehicles.
