Delhi's EV Policy 2026-2030 aims to reduce pollution and boost clean mobility with incentives for two and three-wheelers, engaging OEMs for charging. However, the author argues this initial step alone is insufficient. Challenges include external vehicle traffic and significant non-exhaust emissions, which impact air quality. Achieving genuine clean mobility necessitates robust, integrated mass public transport systems, promoting non-motorised options like cycling and walking. Critically, private vehicles should not remain the primary travel choice for all journeys, advocating a broader, systemic shift.
