Preeja Prasad ByExpress News ServiceBENGALURU: The Transport Department will be proposing a scheme by next week after two years to provide subsidy to convert two-stroke autorickshaws into four-stroke. However, the next two years saw a change in policy where the two-stroke autos were asked to be scrapped completely. One of the notifications received from the government says that electric autos require permit while another states that they are exempt from permit and tax. “The scheme is a `30-crore subsidy which will focus majorly on electric autorickshaws though it includes housing and insurance for drivers as well. Earlier this year, Bengaluru was expected to get 5,000 electric and 5,000 CNG autorickshaws by the end of March..
