The state government is engaging with autorickshaw unions to shape a new electric vehicle subsidy scheme aimed at promoting greener urban transport.
The state government has begun consultations with autorickshaw unions as it finalises an electric vehicle subsidy scheme aimed at promoting greener urban transport.
The proposed scheme would offer financial incentives to drivers who switch to electric autorickshaws, aligning with national climate and pollution‑reduction goals.
Union representatives have expressed willingness to cooperate but have highlighted the need for adequate charging infrastructure and driver training.
Officials said the consultations will continue over the coming weeks before the subsidy details are formally announced.
