Summary:
Secretary, STA, Rajeev Tiwari says, “Indeed, the number of e-rickshaws plying on city roads is much higher than the registered ones. Introduced in 2014 only for operation between Rock Garden and Sukhna Lake, battery-operated rickshaws, better known as e-rickshaws, are slowly taking over the city roads. First, e-rickshaws registered with Panchkula and Mohali are also operating in Chandigarh. The union territory has over 12 lakh registered vehicles. R K Tandon, a Manimajra-based manufacturer and dealer of these trikes, says they cost anywhere between Rs 1.20 lakh and Rs 1.35 lakh..
