The Delhi government has officially announced a ban on the sale of new petrol-powered two-wheelers, slated to take effect in 2028.
The national capital, Delhi, is set to implement a significant policy shift concerning its vast two-wheeler market. Official directives have confirmed that the sale of new petrol-powered two-wheelers will be prohibited starting from the year 2028.
This decision marks a crucial step towards reducing vehicular emissions in one of India's most polluted cities. The ban aims to encourage the adoption of electric and other cleaner alternatives for personal transportation, particularly for short-distance commutes which are dominated by two-wheelers.
While specific details on the implementation and potential exemptions are yet to be elaborated, the announcement signals a clear direction for the automobile industry and consumers in Delhi. The transition is expected to accelerate the shift towards sustainable mobility solutions within the city.
