India’s Delhi mandates electric-only new registrations for two- and three-wheelers
Change
Delhi, India will prohibit registration of new petrol two-wheelers from April 1, 2028 and require that all new three-wheeler registrations be electric from January 1, 2027.
Why it matters
The policy removes internal-combustion vehicles as a valid option for new fleet additions in one of India’s largest urban transport markets. Vehicle sourcing, fleet expansion, and dealer inventory strategies must shift to electric models within defined timelines, eliminating the ability to add petrol or diesel vehicles to the city’s operational fleet.
Implications
- — Two-wheeler manufacturers and dealerships supplying Delhi — petrol models will not be eligible for registration beyond the cut-off dates; inventory tied to internal-combustion vehicles risks becoming unsellable within the city.
- — Fleet operators (ride-hailing, delivery, urban logistics) — new vehicle additions in Delhi will be restricted to electric models; fleet expansion strategies based on petrol or diesel vehicles will no longer be viable in this market.
