Prior to this policy, the total number of EVs in the newly purchased vehicles in Delhi was 0.2%. Within 7 months of the introduction of the EV policy in August 2020, the share of EV purchased had increased from 0.2% to 2.21%.
As of 5th Nov 2021, the e-vehicle share (out of total new vehicles registered) in Delhi was 7%. The EV share jumped from 1% to 7% in just 1 quarter.
Delhi is the only mid to large Indian state to reach 7% EV penetration while most states are still under 2%. The AAP government hopes to end Year 2 (i.e. mid-2022) at 10-15% adoption of EVs.
