Delhi HC Orders Prompt EV Subsidy Payments
The Delhi High Court told the Delhi government to speed up payments to people who bought electric vehicles.
A group asked the court for help because the government was taking too long to give out the promised money.
The court agreed, saying the government can't use excuses to delay payments, even if the rules didn't have a specific date.
The government said they were setting up a special bank account.
The court wants the payments made quickly.
This will help people who bought EVs.
Delhi High Court ordered the Delhi government to expedite EV subsidy payments.
The court responded to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Jan Seva Welfare Society.
The petition highlighted delays in subsidy disbursal to EV purchasers.
Approximately Rs 48 crore in subsidies remain undisbursed.
The government is setting up a dedicated bank account to address the delays.
