In a significant step toward accelerating electric mobility in India, the Central Government has informed the Supreme Court that it will finalize a policy for the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across all government departments, public sector units (PSUs), and authorities by the end of April.


Appearing before a Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan, Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati stated that the policy framework is in the advanced stages of discussion at the highest levels of government. She assured the bench that a comprehensive proposal could be finalized within three weeks.

The bench has directed the Centre to submit the final proposal by April 30, 2025, marking a crucial deadline in India’s transition toward a cleaner, sustainable transport system.


As a leading platform advocating for a greener future, India EV applauds the Centre’s commitment to lead by example. Transitioning the government’s massive fleet to electric will set a precedent for large-scale EV adoption across the country, especially among institutional buyers.


Highlighting environmental concerns, Bhati also informed the court that around 60 lakh vehicles over the permissible age limit are still operational in Delhi-NCR, significantly contributing to pollution levels. She urged the court to consider this issue seriously, pointing out that while regulations exist, enforcement remains inadequate.


The forthcoming EV policy for the government fleet is poised to be a landmark moment in India’s clean mobility mission. India EV believes this step will not only reduce carbon emissions but also boost demand for domestic EV manufacturing, catalyzing innovation and job creation across the sector.

We look forward to seeing this policy come to life and stand ready to support all stakeholders in its implementation.
