New Delhi: For first 10,000 buyers of e-cycles in Delhi, a subsidy of Rs 5,500 will be provided by Delhi government.

The state government will also give subsidy on purchase of heavy duty cargo e-cycles and e-carts for commercial uses, he said.

The subsidy on cargo e-cycles will be Rs 15,000 each for first 5,000 buyers. The subsidy was earlier provided to individual buyers of e-carts but now a company or corporate house buying these vehicles will also be provided a subsidy of Rs 30,000, he said.

Gahlot said the residents of Delhi only will be eligible to avail the subsidy scheme.

To curb pollution in the national cpital, the state government earlier had launched a scheme in October 2021 for the registration of 4,261 e-autos, of which 33 per cent (1,406 e-autos) are reserved for women drivers. 

The state government is taking several initiatives to promote e-vehicles. It had conducted a computerised draw for e-autos in Delhi on February 14 and within three days, the first 20 drivers who registered for the e-auto were handed over the permission letters.
