The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is under fresh criticism for letting its 75 electric cars, purchased in 2018, sit unused for more than two years.
Amid ambitious government efforts to accelerate electric vehicle (EV) adoption, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) faces renewed criticism for leaving its 75-car electric fleet, procured in 2018, idle for over two and a half years, according to a report by ET Auto. This situation starkly exposes the yawning gap between policy vision and operational delivery.

Other fleets, including those in the BluSmart case (with Tata and Mahindra EVs lying unused), face similar challenges; however, unlike some of the abandoned municipal fleets, these vehicles can still be rescued and put to use, with the need for proactive asset recovery and reallocation efforts.
