IAMAI urges Delhi Govt to extend deadline to EV switch

28 May 2024 CW Team

The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), representing the digital services industry, has urged the Delhi government to extend the current deadline for declaring all existing fleets associated with aggregator or delivery service providers. They cite operational issues and a low response from aggregators and gig workers as reasons for the extension.

IAMAI has submitted its recommendations regarding the Delhi Motor Vehicle Aggregator and Delivery Service Scheme, 2023, and the digital portal tracking the scheme to the Delhi government. This scheme, approved in October last year, aims to promote green and sustainable mobility and improve transportation services in the national capital.

The scheme mandates commercial vehicle fleets to gradually transition to electric mobility to reduce air pollution and promote green transportation. All aggregator, delivery service provider, and e-commerce entity vehicle fleets in Delhi are required to adopt electric fleets by 2030.

Citing a Ministry of Road Transport and Highways notification, IAMAI highlighted the challenge of integrating two-wheelers into the passenger mobility landscape. They proposed the inclusion of low-speed EV bikes in the portal monitoring the scheme.

IAMAI also recommended that the portal should allow aggregators to meet EV targets at an aggregated level within six months, rather than mandating it every 14 days. Furthermore, they suggested that any vehicle off boarded by the Transport Department or the aggregator should be subtracted from the total incremental vehicle induction, ensuring that EV mandates apply to the adjusted total.
