Delhi’s draft EV policy mandates schools to convert 10% of bus fleets to electric within 2 years, rising to 20% in 3 years and 30% by 2030. It applies to all buses, with compliance monitored by authorities. The policy also promotes awareness on pollution and sustainable practices, aiming to cut emissions and improve air quality.
New Delhi: Delhi schools must ensure that at least 10 per cent of their bus fleets transition to electric within two years, according to the government's draft EV policy.
The new policy looks to stipulate a clear timeline for adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across institutions. As per the draft, this target will increase to 20 per cent by completion of the third year of notification of the policy, and to 30 per cent by March 31, 2030.
The mandate will apply to the entire school bus fleet, including leased, owned, or hired vehicles, ensuring the transition covers all types of operations.
The education department will be responsible for ensuring compliance with the new EV policy across schools. It will issue necessary directions, integrate the requirements into school recognition and affiliation processes, and monitor adherence in coordination with the transport department, the draft policy proposes.
