High Courts Call for Regulation and National Policy on E-Rickshaw Operations
The Allahabad High Court and Madhya Pradesh High Court have addressed concerns over the unregulated growth of e-rickshaws causing traffic congestion. The Allahabad High Court noted that e-rickshaws in Lucknow exceed road capacity and are exempt from registration, prompting calls for stricter enforcement and route restrictions. Meanwhile, the Madhya Pradesh High Court directed the Centre to formulate a national e-rickshaw policy within 60 days, allowing states to adapt rules based on local needs to improve traffic management.
