E-rickshaw: Govt to expedite subsidy pay, simplify registration

Live Mint  

New Delhi: The Delhi government is seeking to simplify the registration process for e-rickshaws and expedite the payment of subsidies to promote the eco-friendly three-wheelers used by commuters for short distances. A three-member committee of transport department officials was recently set up for the purpose and prepared a report suggesting ways to simplify the registration process and ensure timely disbursal of subsidy. However, a cumbersome registration system and delay in subsidy disbursal hinder the process. Several attempts of the city transport department to regularise old e-rickshaws did not yield the desired results.
