Describing Reva as "a little cute car", Sheila Dikshit said her government was committed to taking steps to improve the city's environment.
"It is a green day for Delhi. I have been using the car myself for short distances and I like it a lot,' she said.
'I appeal to all those who have several cars to at least buy one Reva,' Dikshit added.
To popularize the battery-operated car, the government announced a 15 percent subsidy on its base price, 12.5 percent exemption of value-added tax (VAT), and a refund of road tax and registration charges.
The subsidy and exemptions would bring down price of Reva's base model to Rs.299,000, and it would cost users 40 paise per kilometre.
