In a major electric vehicle push, the Delhi government has given a target to all commercial aggregators engaged in passenger, delivery, and good carrier services for mandatory transition from commercial and conventional vehicles to electric.
The aggregators, however, providing bike taxis and rent-a-bike services will have to run only e-bikes for passenger services once the policy is implemented.
Talking about the draft scheme, transport minister Kailash Gahlot said that Delhi has achieved another milestone with this scheme. “For the first time in India, a state has given targets to the aggregator to electrify their fleets and regulate such service providers in the city, with an aim to ensure safety of passengers and reduce pollution with sustainable public transportation in the city,” he said.
