Delhi Targets Fossil Fuel Motorcycles: 2028 Deadline for EV Shift
Delhi aims to combat air pollution by banning gasoline-powered two-wheelers starting in 2028, pushing for a rapid transition to electric vehicles. PM Modi continues campaigning in West Bengal ahead of crucial elections.
Delhi, the capital of India, is taking drastic measures to combat its chronic smog and high pollution levels by planning to ban non-electric two-wheelers from 2028 onward. This ambitious move is part of the city's efforts to tackle its air quality crisis and promote the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs).
The proposed ban, which still requires final approval, would apply to all motorcycles and scooters that run on fossil fuels, such as gasoline or diesel. This includes the ubiquitous two-wheelers that are a common sight on Delhi's congested streets, often contributing significantly to the city's air pollution woes.
