Ahead of the rollout of Delhi’s EV Policy 2.0, the auto industry is calling for the gradual removal of older two-wheelers (2Ws) and emphasises that newer models should not be subject to a blanket ban. Industry stakeholders argue that modern, BS-VI compliant two-wheelers already meet stricter emission norms and are equipped with advanced electronic fuel injection systems. They contend that these newer vehicles achieve near-zero emissions performance under the BS-VI framework and therefore do not require additional prohibitions. The industry view presented is that any policy approach should focus on phasing out older, non-compliant models rather than restricting newer ones that already conform to BS-VI standards. The reporting frames the discussion around how Delhi should balance environmental goals with practical implementation for existing fleets and customers, with the policy timing approaching as EV Policy 2.0 nears. Overall, the sources describe a push for targeted phase-out measures focused on vehicle age and compliance status.
