thebalanced.newsDelhi to Resume Online E-Rickshaw Registrations with New Licensing Rules from May 15
Delhi's Transport Department will resume online registration of e-rickshaws from May 15, implementing a policy to register only one e-rickshaw per driving license to curb unauthorized vehicles. Applicants must complete a two-week training and submit a certificate for registration. The department had suspended registrations in November to revise licensing and withdrew a circular allowing multiple registrations per license to prevent concentrated ownership and promote wider self-employment. Further regulations and enforcement measures are planned.
