With this process starting after a five-month suspension, the department has also added some new eligibility conditions. The aim of which is to control and regulate the rapidly increasing number of e-rickshaws in the city.

What are the new eligibility conditions for registration?

The Transport Department has made a major change in the rules regarding ownership:



  • One license, one vehicle: Now only one e-rickshaw can be registered on one driving license. Earlier, several e-rickshaws were registered in the name of the same license holder. Due to which the concerns of concentration of ownership in a few hands and unauthorized operations had increased.




  • Restrictions on companies: In April, the department had also withdrawn the circular under which companies could register multiple e-carts and e-rickshaws in the name of the same entity. Its aim is to prevent monopoly of large operators and promote self-employment for individual drivers.
