\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDelhi Govt launches ambitious Electric Vehicle<\/a> (EV) Policy 2.0 for switching the capital to an ideal electric vehicle landscape by 2027. The move is one of the initiatives that the city is taking to curb the rising air pollution and embrace sustainable transport.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBased on the draft policy, 95% of new vehicles to be registered in Delhi by 2027 is to be electric.
