Delhi govt to revise EV transition policy
The Delhi government is set to review and possibly revise the cab aggregator and delivery service policy introduced by the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) administration, with officials indicating that changes may include relaxed electric vehicle (EV) transition timelines and a cap on surge pricing. According to officials familiar with the matter, the Delhi Motor Vehicle Aggregator and Delivery Service Provider Scheme—first notified in November 2023—is under active scrutiny by the transport department. The aim, they said, is to fine-tune the policy to better reflect the concerns of aggregators, gig workers, and end users. 'We have received inputs from various sections and we are relooking at some of the provisions and targets in the policy. Our aim will be to ensure that it is a comprehensive policy for all sections of people affected by it, especially the commuters and customers who use these services and those employed,' said transport minister Pankaj Singh told HT on Tuesday. Chief minister Rekha Gupta also confirmed the revision, noting during her 100-day report last week that the aggregator policy was one of several regulatory frameworks her government had taken up for re-evaluation. The AAP government's policy had, for the first time, legalised bike taxis in Delhi—but with a caveat: only electric vehicles (EVs) were permitted, with no transition time offered. In contrast, other vehicle categories—such as commercial two-wheelers and goods carriers—were given four to five years to convert their fleets to electric. This immediate mandate for electric bike taxis drew criticism from aggregators, who argued it made operations unviable. Officials now say the new government may consider offering a phased timeline for e-bike taxi adoption, similar to other segments. Additionally, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJp) government is weighing the introduction of guidelines for fare regulation, particularly on surge pricing. The current policy does not specify any limits, leading to complaints about unpredictable and inflated fares during peak hours. So far, officials said 64 entities have registered on the government's aggregator portal, including 17 ride-hailing platforms, 42 delivery service providers, and five e-commerce companies. These firms have collectively listed over 550,000 vehicles: 325,762 two-wheelers, 121,339 three-wheelers, and 111,234 four-wheelers. The existing scheme requires all service providers to switch to electric fleets by 2030 and mandates a five-year licence term. It also enforces safety features such as panic buttons and 112 (Delhi Police) integration for emergency response. Non-compliance attracts steep penalties ranging from ₹5,000 to ₹100,000. The scheme applies to any individual or company that operates a motor vehicle fleet digitally—whether for ferrying passengers or delivering goods, parcels, or food—connecting drivers to platforms, vendors, or consumers through apps or other means. The BJP government has already started work on replacing the Mohalla clinics with Aarogya Mandirs and Mohalla buses are now rebranded as DEVI buses. The government has also scrapped the streetscaping project started by the previous government to develop European style streets in Delhi owing to its high cost.

Delhi-NCR states told not to allow cab aggregators, delivery service providers to use diesel, petrol vehicles from 2026
Underlining the need for 'faster transition to efficient and cleaner mobility', the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) in Delhi and NCR issued directions on Wednesday not to allow cab aggregators and delivery service providers to use any more diesel or petrol-run vehicles from January 2026. It has also directed the NCR state governments to induct only CNG or electric three-wheeler autorickshaws in the existing vehicle fleet with 'immediate effect'. The commission said that its focus is on reducing vehicular pollution and facilitating faster transition to cleaner modes of mobility in Delhi–NCR, particularly in the sectors of motor vehicle aggregators, delivery service providers, and e-commerce entities. 'The existing fleet of vehicles onboarded by these service providers can be continued for such services,' the directive read. States, including Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan, need to formulate comprehensive policies prioritizing the high-vehicle density (HVD) cities of Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat, Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad, which, besides intra-city requirements, also rely heavily on inter-city movement of vehicles, it said. With regard to Delhi, the commission noted that there is already an existing framework in place with the 2023 Delhi Motor Vehicle Aggregator and Delivery Service Provider Scheme. Under this scheme, licensing and regulation of aggregators providing passenger transport services, delivery services of goods and commodities, including through e-commerce entities, are regulated. In its direction, it also noted that zero-emission vehicles such as Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and other clean technologies need to be targeted for clean mobility.

Only CNG, EV three-wheelers, LCVs to be inducted by aggregators and delivery firms in NCR from Jan 2026
New Delhi: In a move to reduce vehicular emissions in Delhi-NCR, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) has directed that only CNG and electric vehicles shall be inducted into the commercial fleets of aggregators, delivery service providers, and e-commerce entities operating in the region from January 1, 2026. According to CAQM, the directive applies to three-wheeler autorickshaws, two-wheelers, and four-wheeler Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) and Light Goods Vehicles (LGVs) up to 3.5 tonnes (N1 category). No further induction of diesel or petrol-powered vehicles into these fleets will be permitted beyond the stipulated date. 'The existing fleet of vehicles onboarded by these service providers can be continued for such services,' the Commission stated. However, induction of any new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles running purely on diesel or petrol in the mentioned categories will be prohibited after January 1, 2026. The directive is part of a broader effort by CAQM to address the transport sector's significant contribution to the overall air pollution load in the National Capital Region, which remains high throughout the year and intensifies during winter months. The Delhi Transport Department has already implemented the Delhi Motor Vehicle Aggregator and Delivery Service Provider Scheme, 2023, for licensing and regulating aggregators and delivery firms . The Commission has now urged Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan to formulate similar comprehensive policies, especially targeting high vehicle density cities such as Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat, Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad. The commission emphasized that all Motor Vehicle Aggregators, Delivery Service Providers, and E-Commerce Entities under the jurisdiction of the NCR states must comply with the new directions. Governments of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan have been directed to create dedicated web portals, similar to the one developed by the Delhi Transport Department, for monitoring compliance. The NCR state governments have also been asked to publicise the directions widely among stakeholders.
