Delhi draft e-rickshaw policy proposes 2.5 lakh vehicle cap, ownership limits, stricter rules
Delhi’s draft e-rickshaw policy proposes a cap of 2.5 lakh vehicles, limits on ownership, mandatory compliance certificates and stricter penalties for violations.
The Delhi government has proposed a draft e-rickshaw policy that aims to regulate the growing number of e-rickshaws in the city. The policy suggests capping the total number of e-rickshaws at 2.5 lakh and limiting individual ownership to five vehicles. Digital compliance certificates (ECCs) are required for all e-rickshaws, and a separate stringent limit of 100 vehicles applies to companies, firms, cooperatives, and other permitted entities.
Fleet operators with 25 or more e-rickshaws are required to obtain an aggregator license. The proposed rules also mandate strict penalties for violations and require e-rickshaws to adhere to battery safety and environmental standards.
