Summary:
The Delhi government in its current financial year budget has earmarked Rs 1.06 crore for providing subsidy to e-rickshaw owners. The Delhi government had in 2015 announced a subsidy of Rs 15,000 to owners of newly-purchased battery-operated e-rickshaw which are authorised and registered by the Transport Department. An individual can claim subsidy only on one e-rickshaw. On subsequent purchase by the same individual no subsidy is allowed. The subsidy amount was revised to Rs 30,000 for the e-rickshaws which were bought after 2016..
