Govt. Cuts E-Rickshaw Outlay, Shifts Focus to Electric Three-Wheelers

Govt. Cuts E-Rickshaw Outlay, Shifts Focus to Electric Three-Wheelers

The government is changing how it helps people buy electric vehicles.

They are giving less money to help people buy electric rickshaws because not many people were using the money.

They are giving more money to a different type of electric vehicle instead.

This is because it's hard to make the rickshaws in India, so they have to import parts.

The rules for buying them are confusing, which makes it hard for companies to sell them.

The government also wants to help with electric buses, trucks, and charging stations, but those haven't gotten any money yet.
