Kejriwal further said that the EV policy is a result of intensive and exhaustive consultations with experts from across the country and that EV policies from across the world were incorporated. “This policy is the most progressive in the country and will be counted as one of the better ones anywhere in the world,” he said. “For now, this policy is for three years but we will make changes in this time span, if required.”
AAP government in Delhi has also committed to set up a ‘State Electric Vehicle Board’ with Kejriwal adding that 200 charging stations will be established in one year.
Emphasizing that the current share of EVs in new car registrations is 0.2%, Kejriwal said it is a tall order to reach the goal of 25% by 2024 but one that would also usher in jobs. “This policy will ensure generation of thousands of jobs in driving, financing, selling, servicing etc.”
