Delhi govt launches forum for successful implementation of EV policy
The Delhi government on Friday launched a forum to engage with stakeholders for the successful implementation of its recently launched electric vehicles policy. The city government had notified its electric vehicles (EV) policy in August this year, aiming at having an electric vehicle market share of 25 per cent across all new vehicle sales in Delhi by 2024, according to an official statement.
The primary objective of the Delhi Electric Vehicles Policy, 2020 is to accelerate the pace of EV adoption across vehicle segments, especially in the mass category of two-wheelers, public/shared transport vehicles and goods carriers.
“Realising the vision of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to make Delhi the ‘EV capital of India’ requires participation of all stakeholders, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), fleet operators, charging station energy operators and others,” Jasmine Shah, vice chairperson, Dialogue and Development Commission (DDC) of the Delhi government said.
The DDC will host the Delhi EV Forum with the support of independent think tank, RMI India, working in the field of clean energy and mobility.
