Just before the assembly elections in Delhi, Chief Minister Atishi has made a big announcement. People will continue to get subsidy on electric vehicles for some more time. At the same time, to promote the purchase of electric vehicles, the state government has also said to give some more concessions on them.
Delhi faces heavy pollution every winter. Therefore, the government here has been continuously giving subsidy on EVs. To promote electric vehicles across the country, the central government gives subsidy first under the FAME scheme and now under the PM E-Drive scheme. At the same time, state governments also give subsidy on EVs at their level.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi has announced that the subsidy on electric vehicles was temporarily stopped. But now it will remain intact till 31 March 2025. The government has taken this decision keeping in mind the air quality of Delhi.
