Over 700 two-wheeler hopefuls, who have placed bookings for Dhanteras on November 10, are holding on to the glimmer of hope that the UT administration may once again relax the cap on the number of fuel-run two-wheelers under its Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy.
On October 29, the administration had stopped registration of two-wheelers running on internal combustion engines (ICE) after the target fixed for 2023-24 in the amended EV Policy was achieved. As a result, only electric two-wheelers will be registered in the city till April 2024.
This left the people who had booked their two-wheelers for delivery on the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras at a loss.
