New Delhi: Under the "Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2026," notified by the government on Wednesday, there is also a provision for inducting hydrogen fuel-based vehicles within the next four years.
Earlier last month, Transport Minister Pankaj Singh announced that the Delhi government plans to operate two hydrogen-powered buses in the national capital as part of its push towards clean energy and sustainable public transport. "If cleaner fuel vehicles are introduced during the period of this policy, such as hydrogen fuel, the same may be inducted, allowed to be registered, as per the decision of the Delhi government," the new EV policy states.

The policy specifically references the latest report from the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM).
According to the report, vehicular emissions account for nearly 23 per cent of Delhi's air pollution, particularly during the winter months, making them the single largest source of pollution.
