An ambitious policy finalised by Delhi aims to phase out petrol scooters, motorbikes and autorickshaws within two years and offer residents cash incentives to switch from older vehicles to electric ones in an attempt to tackle some of the worst air pollution levels in the world.
The policy, brought in by the government of India’s national capital territory, carries an outlay of Rs150bn (£1.27bn) over four years to incentivise buyers of electric two-wheelers, cars and small trucks, as well as fund the installation of EV charging infrastructure.
