Delhi Sets 5‑Vehicle Limit & ECC Certificate for E‑Rickshaws in 2026 Scheme

The Delhi Transport Department announced a new e‑rickshaw scheme for 2026 that will restrict ownership to a maximum of five vehicles per individual or company. Under the proposal, every e‑rickshaw will be required to carry an ECC (Electric Certificate of Compliance) issued by the Central Electricity Authority. The ECC certificate will verify that the vehicle meets safety and emission standards before it can be registered. Operators who wish to expand beyond five units will need to apply for special permits, a move aimed at curbing congestion and ensuring regulatory compliance.
