The government has some news for people who want to buy a new car. They want to reduce pollution in the city so they have come up with the ‘Delhi EV Policy 2026.’ This new policy is going to help people who want to buy vehicles or EVs and also ‘strong hybrid’ cars. The government is not going to charge EVs any road tax. They are also going to reduce the registration fee by half for hybrid cars.
Now hybrid cars in Delhi have to pay a 10% road tax just like cars that run on petrol.. With the new policy strong hybrid cars that cost less than ₹30 lakhs will only have to pay half the road tax and registration charges. This means that people who buy these cars can save between ₹80,000 to ₹1.45 lakhs. The prices of cars are going to come down which is good news for people who want to buy them.
How money can you save on each car model?
The governments decision is going to help companies like Maruti Suzuki, Toyota and Honda sell cars. Here is how money you can save on some popular models:
- Toyota Innova Hycross: you can save ₹1.34 lakhs to ₹1.45 lakhs.
- Maruti Invicto: you can save ₹1.25 lakhs to ₹1.44 lakhs.
- Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder: you can save ₹83,000 to ₹1.01 lakhs.
- Honda City e:HEV: you can save up to ₹1 lakh.
The government is giving a 100% exemption to EVs. This means that people who buy EVs that cost than ₹30 lakhs will not have to pay any road tax or registration fees. This is an incentive for people to buy EVs. The cost of buying an EV is going to be much lower than the cost of buying a car.
These new rules are going to be in effect until 2030. The government is also trying to encourage people to use two-wheelers, three-wheelers and commercial vehicles. They want to hear what people think about the policy so they are asking for feedback. The new rules will start after the government issues a notification. The policy is going to be valid, until March 31 2030.
