Delhi E-Rickshaws: Power Theft Costs Rs 120 Crore Annually

Many electric rickshaws in Delhi are stealing electricity, which is costing the city a lot of money.

Over 60% of these rickshaws are involved.

This illegal activity results in an estimated loss of 120 crore rupees yearly.

It's also dangerous, creating fire and electrocution hazards.

Rickshaw drivers often pay a daily fee to groups that charge the rickshaws illegally.

These groups tap into the power grid illegally, straining the power supply.

Exposed wires and unsafe batteries are also a major concern, posing risks especially to children.
