00:00Hello and welcome to this special broadcast.
00:30Give credit where it's due. We have among us a policy that is going to play a very pivotal role
00:36for Delhi's future.
00:40Delhi has a new EV policy.
00:43This policy was before but why are the changes different and why important it is because it is not only
00:51incentives.
00:51This is a hard deadline that when ICE vehicles, which are petrol and diesel vehicles, will be phased out in
00:59Delhi.
01:01This is probably not wrong.
01:04If there was a big change in Delhi in the CNG policy, which was brought to you by Shaila Dixit,
01:12then EV policy is not going to be more or less impact than the EV policy, which has been brought
01:18to you by Rekha Gupta,
01:20who has been with us. Welcome to the program, ma'am.
01:23Thank you so much.
01:24I have to say this, out right in the beginning, that we have asked a lot of questions for years.
01:33If there is another question, I don't agree with you.
01:36But you are sitting here, you want to answer your questions. So, kudos to you.
01:44My first question is, EV policy's implementation,
01:52even the environmentalists have been praised.
01:56Many people have told us about the feedback that we are getting from experts.
02:00We all have received quite a good policy.
02:04Question mark, now, implementation is on.
02:06And in my research, there are three things on which the implementation depends on.
02:12Number 1, you will increase the charging infrastructure.
02:19Number 2, you will provide EV vehicles.
02:24And number 3, you will provide EV vehicles, you will provide a competitive price for people to give them.
02:32First of all, let's start with the charging infrastructure, what are your execution plans?
02:39This is very clear, Sonal, that EV policy's success depends on charging infrastructure and we are ready for that.
02:51We have planned it completely.
02:54We have made it all the way.
02:55We have made it all the way.
02:57We have made it all the way.
02:57We made it all the way.
03:04We need to charge over the AND people.
03:13We need to charge over the first of all phases,
03:17We need to charge over the ODEs.
03:29We have to give them a hurdle in any way.
03:33The government will give them a facility, a single window clearance, motivate, support, and now we have 9,000 points.
03:45Our target is 32,000 points.
03:48We have to make it a nodal agency DTL.
03:51We are working on OEMs, we have shared responsibility that they will create the charging infrastructure.
04:02Even societies and common places, we will put it in place.
04:06I am sure that you don't have the charging infrastructure.
04:12In the policy, there will be 32,000 charging points in March 2030.
04:18For charging points, you don't have to give infrastructure.
04:22You also have to procure land.
04:24Delhi is a very peculiar state, Union territory.
04:27The land is not your own.
04:29Sometimes it is MCD, sometimes it is another authority.
04:31It is a very complicated structure.
04:35Are you confident that this number will reach?
04:36What will happen to you?
04:38I will give you this question.
04:40When we talk about the double engine government,
04:43in Delhi State, the government, in the center, in the state, in the MCD,
04:48all agencies are working on a common platform.
04:53When we opened the temple,
04:55we have utilized the other agencies' land.
04:59Even DDA, NDMC, DUSIP,
05:01everyone has their own land.
05:03And in this way, charging infrastructure,
05:05we have already identified the land.
05:09We have already identified the land.
05:09We need to take the land.
05:11What will happen to them?
05:13Everything is planned.
05:14And at least,
05:16there is no problem of land.
05:18We are not analyzing.
05:18And the whole job is not happening in the day.
05:22One year for this policy is what is been done,
05:25we have discussed different stakeholders,
05:27and infrastructure will have been on the main part of it.
05:30With the zero point,
05:32all the work will be implemented.
05:37Where we have done the money regarding infrastructure,
05:40we have to talk about the battery and e-waste.
05:45So in future, we need a very big infrastructure for e-waste disposal.
05:50That's been worked for today.
05:52Yes, yes.
05:54The whole policy is about 7000 crore, which you are giving a waiver.
05:59Long term, if you look at it, it's 8000 crore odd.
06:02The total is 15000 crore scheme.
06:05In this case, what you will do is that these two-wheelers are basically affordable.
06:15Because now, where do you see the adoption?
06:18Those two-wheelers who buy an ICE vehicle, they buy a petrol or diesel,
06:25they come down.
06:27Your e-waste is expensive.
06:29What do they match?
06:31Because when you buy a customer, you will get the cost-benefit.
06:36The adoption depends on many things.
06:39The adoption depends on how easily the cash benefit of the subsidy is to reach the customer.
06:47We have no subsidy for our policy.
06:51We have no scrapping incentive.
06:53This is a two-way thing.
06:54The incentive to get the customer from DBT.
06:59That is also in the time-bound manner.
07:00You have to apply your RC for 30 days.
07:04And in the 60 days, you have to reach the cash benefit of DBT.
07:09We are going to ensure this.
07:11These are all the things that the EV policy is for adoption.
07:15It is very perfect.
07:16People are motivating.
07:18You have to get the subsidy.
07:19You have to get the scrapping value.
07:21When you look for one vehicle,
07:23if you look for two wheelers,
07:24you are going to be the subsidy for 30,000.
07:27You are going to give the subsidy in the whole country.
07:28The whole country is not here.
07:30We are going to be the huge amount of subsidy.
07:32You are going to be the scrapping for 10,000.
07:34In the same way,
07:34you should think that the road tax,
07:35registration fee,
07:37you are getting scrapping,
07:38you are getting subsidy for subsidy.
07:40So everyone wants to take responsibility for this country.
07:45We have to mandate and motivate.
07:50So mandate and motivation,
07:52I think people are going to take care of our stakeholders.
07:58Okay.
08:00If we take the last pollution report,
08:02Terry's report,
08:03we take it.
08:05After that,
08:05there is no comprehensive pollution report.
08:08If you look at that report,
08:11there is about 46% of Delhi's pollution
08:14comes from two-wheelers and three-wheelers.
08:16You have been doing well in this policy.
08:20You have given a lot of incentives.
08:21And there is a deadline
08:22that starting January of 2027,
08:26there will be a phase-out.
08:27Three-wheelers will not be registered,
08:29two-wheelers will not be registered.
