The Delhi government aims to encourage all residential societies, including planned colonies, Delhi Development Authority (DDA) flats, Cooperative Group Housing Societies, government housing societies and employer housing through this guidebook to promote electric vehicles by adopting EV charging in their societies.

This initiative had made the Delhi government the first state government in India to make Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) and residential societies an integral part of the EV movement. It will facilitate and enable the residents to access EV charging facilities in housing colonies across Delhi.

The state government announced the Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy in August 2020 to promote the adoption of EVs and make Delhi the EV capital of India.

This policy aims to improve the air quality of Delhi through EVs to reach 25% of all new vehicle registrations by 2024.

According to a statement, the government has been directing all residential institutions with a parking capacity of 100 or more to reserve 5% of their parking space for EVs with EV charging stations with a minimum output of 3.3 KW.

It further added that the government also provides a grant of 100% for purchasing charging equipment up to Rs 6,000 per charging point for the first 30,000 charging facilities and a special EV tariff for EV charging.
