The Delhi government is actively working on a structured mechanism for battery lifecycle management as part of its electric vehicle (EV) policy, according to Transport Minister Pankaj Singh. During a recent stakeholders conference, Singh emphasized the goal of making Delhi the 'EV Capital' of India by 2026. The draft Delhi EV Policy 2026 aims to increase the number of electric vehicles and develop the necessary infrastructure to support them. Currently, Delhi has approximately 9,000 charging points, with plans to expand this to 32,000-36,000 points in the coming years. Stakeholders at the conference highlighted the importance of integrating the EV Policy with Delhi's Solar Policy to enhance sustainability outcomes. They also discussed the need for residential charging infrastructure and the involvement of Resident Welfare Associations to address parking constraints and ensure last-mile accessibility. The consultation aimed to gather evidence-based recommendations from industry stakeholders to refine the draft policy, which outlines a comprehensive roadmap for scaling electric mobility across the capital.
