Delhi bars petrol two-wheeler registrations from 2028
Registration offices cannot accept petrol two-wheeler applications after Apr 1, 2028
Change
Delhi barred registration of new petrol-powered two-wheelers effective April 1, 2028.
Why it matters
Dealers, manufacturers and fleet buyers face binding procurement and inventory windows because the policy accelerates transition timelines across multiple vehicle classes. It also imposes earlier fleet limits for aggregators and delivery firms and staged electrification targets for school buses, creating immediate compliance and sourcing constraints.
Implications
- — Two-wheeler dealers and manufacturers supplying Delhi customers — must reallocate, clear, or secure registration for existing petrol-model inventory and confirmed orders before April 1, 2028 — petrol units delivered or unsold after that date will be ineligible for Delhi registration and therefore likely unsalable locally.
- — Fleet procurement teams at cab aggregators and delivery firms operating in Delhi — must stop placing orders for new petrol or diesel two-wheelers and specified small goods carriers since January 1, 2026 — vehicles added after that date will be barred from registration in Delhi.
