Hybrid vehicles include an internal combustion engine with one or more electric motors and use regenerative braking and engine-generated power to recharge their batteries.However, an official told the news agency that the EV policy does not include any subsidy for hybrid vehicles.A senior government official earlier told PTI that the administration is considering extending incentives to hybrid vehicles, although the proposal has faced resistance from some quarters."The government wants to cover hybrid vehicles under the subsidy scheme, but there are differing views on the matter. At the same time, evidence suggests that incentivising hybrid vehicles has supported faster adoption of electric mobility in several markets," the official said.Delhi’s former EV policy, launched in August 2020, had been extended several times. The government was earlier expected to unveil EV Policy 2.0 during the budget session of the Delhi Assembly in March.
