According to the proposed Delhi EV Policy 2.0 , electric cars with an ex-showroom price below or equal to Rs 30 lakh registered in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi will be eligible for a 100% tax exemption from road tax and registration fees till March 31, 2030. This could reduce the effective on-road

price of a range of EVs by about Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 3 lakh, depending on the price and segment.
