The Delhi transport department on Wednesday withdrew its old circular that permitted companies to register multiple electric carts and electric rickshaws in their names.
“By preventing the concentration of ownership in the hands of a few companies or firms, the government aims to promote self-employment and reduce exploitation of economically weaker sections,” transport minister Pankaj Singh said.
The Delhi transport department has withdrawn its April 21, 2022, circular.
He said key advantages of the decision include greater economic opportunities for owner-drivers, reduced risk of monopolistic control over the e-rickshaw sector, and enhanced support for self-reliant employment models.

“By putting the vehicle back in the hands of the individual driver, we are strengthening self-employment and protecting the backbone of Delhi’s last-mile connectivity,” he said.
According to the transport minister, the revised decision ensures that e-rickshaw registration benefits are distributed more widely among Delhi’s residents.
