If you live in Delhi, India, and want a motorcycle with an internal combustion engine, you'd better buy one before 2028. Earlier this week, Delhi's government announced plans to ban gasoline-powered scooters and motorcycles, and the first phase of that plan involves banning the purchase of said machines in 2028. The plan is for electric motorcycles and e-scooters to replace ICE two-wheelers, but it has already come under criticism.
It's hard to imagine the streets of Delhi without the noise, energy, and fumes of scooters, motorcycles, and rickshaws. But it's the fumes that the government is trying to cut back on. In fact, the entire plan will phase out new gas scooters, trucks and buses in the capital over the next two years.
