The Morning Standard
|April 29, 2025
In a step towards environmental conservation, the Delhi government has directed for complete replacement of all diesel vehicles operated by the Forest Department with Electric Vehicles (EVs) within the next 60 days.
A standing order to this effect was issued by Delhi's Environment, Forest, and Wildlife Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, mandating a full transition to electric mobility in the national capital's forest areas.
The directive also strictly prohibits the entry of non-essential, non-electric vehicles - both government and private - into protected forest areas with immediate effect.
