The new regulations in India — Haryana, mandating cleaner fuel vehicles for aggregators and delivery services, will significantly boost demand for Electric vehicle and Natural gas vehicles, while negatively impacting the demand for Petroleum and Diesel fuel vehicles in the India — National Capital Region (India).

The India — Haryana Cabinet has approved new rules for vehicle aggregators and delivery service providers operating in its India — National Capital Region (India) districts. Effective January 1, 2026, all new vehicles inducted into these fleets must be Electric vehicle, Natural gas, or use other cleaner fuels, aligning with guidelines from the India — Commission for Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas and the India — Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. The decision, chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, aims to curb vehicular pollution and improve air quality. The new framework also includes mandatory licensing, enhanced safety measures, insurance coverage for drivers and passengers, and cyber security compliance for apps. India — Haryana Transport Minister Anil Vij has also proposed a 100% tax exemption on Electric vehicle to further encourage their adoption and announced plans for the state government to purchase 500 electric buses.
