Delhi’s Big Move: No More Petrol, Diesel, or CNG Two-Wheelers from 2026

Delhi is taking a bold step towards a cleaner, greener future. According to the recently released Draft EV Policy 2.0, all fossil fuel-powered two-wheelers — including petrol, diesel, and CNG bikes and scooters — will be banned in the national capital starting August 15, 2026. This landmark decision is part of Delhi’s aggressive push to combat air pollution and accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles. The draft policy doesn’t just stop at private two-wheelers and includes autos and other light commercial vehicles, signaling a sweeping shift in how Delhi moves. With this new policy, Delhi is setting a precedent for urban centers across India. The message is clear: the future is electric. From silent scooters zipping through traffic to zero-emission autos ferrying passengers, the city aims to become a model for sustainable transport. Residents and businesses are now being encouraged to switch early, as incentives, subsidies, and charging infrastructure are also set to expand in the coming years.

The clock is ticking — 2026 isn’t far. Is your ride ready for the electric revolution?
