Delhi may extend EV deadline for fleets to 2035

Delhi may extend EV deadline for fleets to 2035

The Delhi government is thinking about pushing back the deadline for all cabs and delivery vehicles to switch to electric ones.

Right now, the deadline is 2030, but they might change it to 2035.

This is because companies like Ola, Uber, Amazon, and others said it's too soon.

They're worried about the high cost of electric vehicles and the need for more charging stations.

The government is talking to these companies and workers to make a new plan.

They also want to make rules about how much cabs can charge, especially when there's a surge in demand.

There are over 550,000 vehicles in Delhi that this rule affects, and only 4,000 charging points, so they need more.

The new rules will come out in early 2026.
