Transport Department Announces ₹50,000 Subsidy for Women E‑Auto Buyers

The transport department has announced a special financial subsidy of ₹50,000 for female drivers interested in purchasing electric autos. The move is part of an initiative to support women’s independent livelihoods and promote the adoption of cleaner vehicles. Eligible applicants will receive the subsidy directly to offset the cost of acquiring an e‑auto. The scheme is expected to increase the number of women operating electric two‑wheelers, thereby contributing to reduced emissions and greater gender inclusivity in the transport sector.

The subsidy will be available to all women who meet the eligibility criteria set by the department. Applicants will need to submit proof of purchase and comply with the department’s guidelines to receive the financial assistance. The initiative aligns with broader efforts to promote electric mobility and empower women in the workforce.
