The Delhi government on Thursday put a draft policy in the public domain under which cab aggregators, food and other doorstep delivery services in the city would have to mandatorily switch their entire fleet to electric vehicles in a phased manner.
Once the policy is notified, within three months, cab aggregators and delivery services will have to make sure that 10% of all new two-wheelers and 5% of all new four-wheelers in their fleet are electric.
By March 2023, they will have to ensure 50% of all new two-wheelers and 25% of all new four-wheelers are electric.
