The Delhi government has announced a three-month extension of its Electric Vehicle (EV) policy along with the continuation of power subsidies within the capital. This decision emerged from a Cabinet meeting presided over by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.

The administration confirmed that the subsidy for domestic consumers, farmers, lawyers with chambers, and 1984 anti-Sikh riot victims will persist. Notably, Transport Minister Pankaj Singh assured the public that no categories of vehicles, including autos, will face any bans.
