On Wednesday, Gahlot tweeted, “The registration of electric vehicles at RTOs has been restarted. The subsidy benefits of the existing Delhi EV policy will continue till the new policy gets notified. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, we are committed to serving the citizens of Delhi.” In May, the transport department said Delhi’s electric vehicle policy has so far achieved around 86 percent of its measures and targets.
