New Delhi, Apr 29 (PTI) The Delhi government held a stakeholders’ meeting on Wednesday with industry leaders, aggregators, and electric vehicle ecosystem players for feedback on the draft EV policy.
The Delhi EV Policy 2026 will be shaped by collective wisdom from all stakeholders to ensure a future-ready, inclusive, and sustainable mobility ecosystem, said Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh.

The Delhi government recently issued its draft EV policy for feedback from stakeholders.
The consultation involved the manufacturing ecosystem, policy recommendations, focus on scrappage policy alignment and end-of-life vehicle management, fleet electrification, last-mile connectivity, and operational challenges, among other topics.
Stakeholders across categories, including aggregators, electric vehicle manufacturers, battery recyclers, auto associations, and e-rickshaw unions, shared their perspectives on strengthening EV adoption, improving charging infrastructure, enhancing battery recycling frameworks, and ensuring affordability and accessibility for all sections of society.
They also highlighted the importance of affordable financing, inclusion of last-mile and low-speed vehicles, and targeted support for gig workers and vulnerable sections.
The transport minister said that a dedicated policy has been drafted, which will be announced shortly, aimed at making operations more organised, safe, and economically viable.
