Delhi government has launched a new EV Subsidy Portal at evsubsidy.delhi.gov.in where people who buy an electric vehicle can apply online for the subsidy and get the money straight into their bank account. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta started this portal along with the official Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2026 booklet at the Delhi Secretariat.
Buyers now get up to ₹30,000 on electric two-wheelers, up to ₹50,000 on electric three-wheelers and up to ₹1 lakh on N-1 category electric trucks. The whole process is paperless and you can do it sitting at home within 30 days of buying your EV and getting the registration certificate.
Delhi EV Subsidy Portal Online Apply Process
Applying is fully online. You do not need to visit any office. Once you buy your electric vehicle and get the registration certificate (RC), you have 30 days to put in your subsidy claim on the portal. Keep your documents ready as soft copies before you start, so you can upload them without any break.
STEP 1 - Open the official portal at evsubsidy.delhi.gov.in on your phone or computer. On the homepage you will see the service information and the option to start a new subsidy application.
STEP 2 - Register or log in. Individual buyers sign in with their own details, while institutions and businesses use their organisation login to apply.
STEP 3 - Pick the correct application form for your vehicle type, whether it is a two-wheeler, three-wheeler or a goods vehicle. Each category has its own subsidy amount.
STEP 4 - Fill in your personal details like name, mobile number and Delhi address proof. Enter your vehicle details such as model name and registration number exactly as they appear on the invoice and RC.
STEP 5 - Upload the required documents. For individuals this means Aadhaar, registration certificate and voter ID. Institutions upload GSTIN, PAN and bank account details.
STEP 6 - Check everything once and submit the form. The Transport Department will verify your vehicle and documents.
STEP 7 - After approval, the subsidy is sent through Aadhaar-based Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) into your bank account within 60 days of applying. You can track your application status on the same portal.
Documents Required for Delhi EV Subsidy
Since the portal is fully digital, you only need clear scanned copies or photos of a few papers. Individual buyers and institutions need slightly different documents, so keep the right set ready before you apply.
- Aadhaar Card - Needed for identity and for the Aadhaar-based DBT payment into your account.
- Registration Certificate (RC) - Proof that the electric vehicle is registered in Delhi in your name.
- Voter ID - Used as an address and identity proof for Delhi residents.
- Bank Account Details - So the subsidy amount can be transferred directly to you.
- GSTIN and PAN - Required only for institutions, companies and businesses applying for the subsidy.
Delhi EV Subsidy Amount by Vehicle Type
Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2026 gives different subsidy amounts based on the type of vehicle. The amount for two-wheelers and three-wheelers also steps down each year, so buying early gets you a bigger benefit. Here is how the cash incentives work.
For electric two-wheelers priced under ₹2.25 lakh, buyers get ₹30,000 in the first year, ₹20,000 in the second year and ₹10,000 in the third year. Electric three-wheelers and auto-rickshaws get ₹50,000 in the first year, ₹40,000 in the second year and ₹30,000 in the third year. N-1 category electric goods vehicles get up to ₹1 lakh in the first year, ₹75,000 in the second year and ₹50,000 in the third year.
People who scrap an old BS-IV or older car and buy a new electric car priced up to ₹30 lakh can claim a ₹1 lakh scrapping incentive. This is capped at the first 1 lakh applicants. On top of this, every eligible EV gets a full 100% waiver on road tax and registration fees until March 31, 2030.

Who Can Apply for Delhi EV Subsidy
The subsidy is for Delhi residents who buy a new electric vehicle and register it in Delhi. Both individual buyers and institutions like companies and businesses can apply. The claim must be filed within 30 days of getting the registration certificate.
One important rule to remember. A vehicle bought using this subsidy cannot be transferred or registered in another state for the first three years. This is to make sure the benefit stays with Delhi users and is not misused for quick resale. Private electric cars do not get a direct purchase subsidy, but they still get the road tax and registration fee waiver if priced up to ₹30 lakh.

Delhi EV Subsidy Portal Login and Status Check
The same portal that you use to apply also works for login and status tracking. After you submit your claim, log back in with your details any time to see whether your application is under review, approved or paid. Once the Transport Department clears it, the money moves to your bank through DBT and you get an update by SMS.
