GOVT TO SIMPLIFY E-RICKSHAW REGISTRATIONS

The Delhi government has set up a three-member committee to simplify the registration process for e-rickshaws and expedite the payment of subsidies to promote eco-friendly threewheelers. The committee was tasked to prepare a report to simplify the registration process and ensure timely disbursal of subsidies. The Delhi government provides a subsidy of 30,000 to the owner of each e-rickshaw. However, a cumbersome registration system and delay in subsidy disbursal hindered the process. A transport department official said the report is under consideration .“It has been sent to departments concerned for their feedback. It will be further firmed up before implementation,” said the official.
