Delhi to Launch EV Policy 2.0, Add 8,000 E-Buses by 2026

01 Sep 2025 CW Team

Delhi is set to roll out its second electric vehicle (EV) policy by February 2026, aiming to dramatically scale up its electric bus fleet from the current 3,400 to between 7,000 and 8,000 units, according to Transport Minister Pankaj Singh. The minister made the announcement at the India Clean Transportation Summit 2025, stating that the city is on track to reach 6,000 electric buses by the end of this year.

Backed by route rationalisation studies, Singh said Delhi’s public transport system requires up to 8,000 buses to serve demand effectively, and the government is working towards meeting that target within the next 18 months.

The upcoming EV Policy 2.0 will focus on strengthening charging infrastructure, offering incentives, and implementing vehicle scrappage programmes. It will also encourage the participation of Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) and foster public-private partnerships to enhance adoption.

Plans are underway to set up charging stations across housing societies, under flyovers, and on unused plots in outer Delhi. The fleet expansion will also include the introduction of “Devi” feeder buses to improve last-mile connectivity.

Additionally, Delhi is collaborating with the Norwegian capital through the “Delhi–Oslo Smart Transport Initiative” to improve its charging infrastructure. Audun Garberg, Vice-Director and Head of the Climate Department in Oslo, shared that Oslo faced similar challenges in the early stages of its EV transition. “In 2006–07, we lacked sufficient public charging points, which slowed adoption. Now, infrastructure is widespread, and our next focus is on electric trucks and integration with housing cooperatives,” he said.

With this strategic shift, Delhi is positioning itself as a leading city in India’s clean transport revolution, aiming to set new benchmarks in sustainable urban mobility.
