Even as the Delhi government on Monday approved a new Electric Vehicle Policy — under which only electric two-wheelers will be eligible for registration in the Capital from April 1, 2028 — electric mobility transition in Gurgaon has not yet seen rapid adoption.
Under the newly approved framework, Delhi has eliminated proposed tax exemptions for strong hybrid vehicles to focus entirely on EVs, setting an aggressive timeline to effectively phase out petrol-run bikes. However, vehicle registration data from Gurgaon paints a contrasting picture of adoption across the border.
According to think tank Envirocatalysts, out of the 1,00,675 two-wheelers registered in Gurgaon during financial year (FY) 2025-26, only 2,249 were electric — representing a mere 2.23% share. This figure marks a drop in market share from 2024-25, which saw registration of 87,544 two-wheelers, of which 3,321 were electric — translating to a 3.79 per cent share.
The figure for petrol and petrol-ethanol two-wheelers stood at 98,025 in FY 2025-26.
Despite the Haryana government also introducing an EV policy in 2022 that offers financial subsidies and tax exemptions to buyers, as earlier reported by The Indian Express, Gurgaon has struggled to match the pace of EV adoption seen in the national capital.
In an attempt to address gaps in the charging infrastructure, the Haryana Department of Town and Country Planning on June 5 approved an amendment to the Haryana Building Code, mandating the integration of EV charging infrastructure in all new residential and commercial buildings. Under the revised norms, commercial establishments such as offices, hotels, and malls are now required to provide at least one charging point for every three parking spaces, while residential and group housing projects must designate one charging point for every five parking slots.
