“On special request from auto drivers, the last date for registration of e-autos has been extended till November 15. Please visit transport.delhi.gov.in and apply for e-auto registration. This Diwali, let us pledge to adopt non-polluting resources of transport," Gahlot said in a tweet in Hindi.
The government had on October 18 launched online registration for e-auto permits with 33 per cent reservation for women, the last date of which was November 1.
The transport department also organised an “E-Auto Mela (fest)" from October 25 to 31 to spread the word about the scheme. At the exhibition, people got to see and even test-drive all available models of e-autos in the Indian market. Interested persons were also advised about the best possible loan financing schemes, based on individual needs and capacity.
In the first phase, 4,261 e-auto permits, including 1,406 for women applicants, will be issued. There is a cap of 100,000 on the number of autos that can be registered in Delhi.
