Transport Minister Kailash Gehlot further informed that a subsidy of Rs 15,000 will be given to the first 5,000 buyers of the Cargo e-cycle. He said that earlier subsidy was given to any person who bought e-carts, but now companies or corporate offices who buy them will also be given a subsidy of Rs 30,000.
It is further clarified that this policy will be applicable only to the residents of Delhi. Gehlot says that Delhi currently has 45,900 e-vehicles, of which 36% are two-wheelers. The buyer of Delhi will have to use his Aadhar card to get the subsidy. It is also reported that Delhi has become the first state in the country to give subsidy in the e-cycle segment.
