Delhi EV subsidy portal now live: Apply within 30 days of purchase

Published on: 04 Jul 2026, 02:46 AM

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta launched the state's Electric Vehicle (EV) subsidy portal on Friday, two days after the rollout of the new Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2025. The portal allows eligible citizens to apply for subsidies on EV purchases.

At the launch event, Gupta also unveiled the official booklet of the Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2025. She stated that the subsidy portal is designed to be simple, fast, transparent, and completely digital, enabling eligible beneficiaries to access all services from their homes.

Eligible applicants can apply through the EV Subsidy Portal within 30 days of purchasing their vehicle and receiving the Registration Certificate (RC). The government aims to transfer the subsidy directly into beneficiaries' bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) within 60 days of application.

The portal is part of the Delhi government's efforts to promote electric mobility and reduce air pollution. The new EV policy aims to increase the share of EVs in new vehicle registrations in the capital.
