NEW DELHI: India’s capital New Delhi will offer a cash incentive of over $1,000 to car owners willing to scrap their old vehicle for an EV, according to a new policy finalised by the government on Monday in a move aimed at reducing high levels of air pollution. New Delhi is one of the world’s most polluted cities with air quality worsening in the winters when dense, stagnant air traps emissions from crops burning in neighbouring states, vehicle exhaust and construction dust. The local government in New Delhi finalises new electric vehicle policy with an outlay of 150 billion rupees ($1.59 billion) over four years to incentivise buyers of electric two-wheelers, cars and small trucks, as well as setting up EV chargers.
