Delhi Cabinet Approves DURGA Scheme Allocating 1,300 Pink E-Autos to Women and Transgender Persons
The Delhi Cabinet approved the DURGA scheme to allocate 1,300 pink electric autos exclusively to women and transgender persons, aiming to promote self-employment, safer last-mile connectivity, and cleaner transport. Applicants must be Delhi residents aged 20-40, with valid driving credentials and family income below Rs 5 lakh. Women with more than three children or whose families own transport vehicles are ineligible. The e-autos will have a three-year lock-in period and distinct branding, with charging facilities planned at metro stations.
