Delhi&#8217;s EV Policy 2.0, effective 1 Jul 2026, commits Rs 15,000 crore to EV incentives and charging, and brokerages see Ather, TMPV and M&#038;M as likely gainers.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Delhi pollution curbs could help EV makers over time, but the effect is not automatic and the market has not treated it as one. The curbs include a No PUCC, No Fuel rule from 1 Oct 2026 and a bar on non-BS-VI vehicles registered outside Delhi from 1 Nov, while Delhi&#8217;s EV Policy 2.0 adds Rs 15,000 crore of support from FY27 to FY30. Brokerages named Ather Energy, TMPV and Mahindra and Mahindra as likely gainers and Hero MotoCorp and Eicher Motors as likely losers, though capacity risks remain. This is educational and not a recommendation to buy or sell.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Delhi pollution curbs return every winter, and each year investors ask whether they can lift the stocks of electric vehicle makers. This year the question is sharper because Delhi has also launched a funded EV policy, so policy support and pollution control now work in the same direction.<\/p>\n<p>This article on Delhi pollution curbs covers the rules, the EV policy, the brokerage views on gainers and losers, the price moves of the stocks involved and the risks. It is educational and not a recommendation to buy or sell.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a

Funding of Rs 15,000 crore gives the Delhi pollution curbs a practical partner, since incentives lower the cost of switching and charging points reduce range worry. Even so, the policy runs to 2030, so benefits will build over years and not days. Buyers also compare running costs, resale value and charging access, and these practical factors decide how quickly a policy turns into sales.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brokerage_Views_Likely_Gainers_From_Delhi_Pollution_Curbs\"><\/span><strong>Brokerage Views: Likely Gainers From Delhi Pollution Curbs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Delhi pollution curbs: stock or group<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">View reported on 30 Jun 2026<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Ather Energy<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Emkay calls it a key beneficiary as a pure-play EV two-wheeler maker, expanding beyond South India with an upcoming EL platform for the mass market<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Nomura says its Delhi EV mix rose from 14% in FY26 to 22% in FY27 so far and expects it to gain share<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Mahindra and Mahindra<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Nomura says EVs are already 31% of its Delhi passenger vehicle sales in FY27 so far<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Incentives for electric commercial vehicles and charging could help; Delhi EV mix in light commercial vehicles is 5.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Component makers<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Nomura views Sona Comstar, Motherson Sumi and Uno Minda positively because of EV exposure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Seen as better insulated because of exports and a growing electric two-wheeler and three-wheeler franchise<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Brokerage views are opinions and the numbers above are as reported on that date. The strongest case for Delhi pollution curbs is for companies that already sell many EVs in Delhi, such as M&#038;M and TMPV, and for pure-play makers such as Ather.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><em>Download the <a href=\"http:\/\/apps.apple.com\/in\/app\/univest-stocks-investment\/id6443753518\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest iOS App<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.univest.capp&#038;hl=en_IN\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest Android App<\/a> to get stock alerts and follow brokerage views.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Data note:<\/strong> Brokerage views are from reports dated 30 Jun 2026 and may have changed.

The broader market was weak, with the Nifty 50 down about 0.9% at 2:53 PM, so these moves look market-driven.
