Servotech gladly welcomes the Delhi EV Policy 2.0, which has been a long-overdue emergency response to the toxic air our national capital breathes. For years, we’ve treated air pollution as a seasonal headline, but as someone deeply embedded in the green energy sector, I see it as a systemic failure of our mobility habits. The true hero of this policy isn’t the subsidies but the mandatory transition for two-wheelers and commercial fleets. We are finally moving past the choice of going green to the necessity of being clean.
We’ve realized that range anxiety is just a symptom of infrastructure apathy. As an EV charger manufacturer, I believe that by mandating chargers at every dealership and pushing for 18,000 points and introducing attractive EV schemes like no road tax and registration fee, the government is finally aligning the hardware with its long-term vision for the capital. Furthermore, this policy will significantly benefit the cab and 3 wheeler fleet industry, an integral part of the state’s mobility ecosystem by significantly reducing their daily operating costs after transitioning to electric. Moreover, the scrapping incentives will be another great catalyst in purging the capital’s oldest polluters. We can no longer afford to let internal combustion engines turn our capital into a gas chamber. This policy shifts the burden from the individual to the ecosystem. The era of fossil fuels is over, we are now building a Delhi that breathes clean and green.
