While the whole world is discussing their transition into electric vehicles, India’s public transport system has been one step ahead all along.

Three-wheeler electric vehicles, or e-rickshaws as they are famously called, have been running in Delhi since 2010! Presently, over 120,000 e-rickshaws are operational in India’s capital city alone.
These were launched to replace pollution-causing modes of transport such as auto-rickshaws that run on fossil fuels and are doing a great job even today, helping thousands of people each day commute around the city.
So much so that Delhi is now facing issues of unregistered e-rickshaws doing the rounds. However, with the implementation of a proper law in place, this minor traction can be resolved in no time.
Looking at the bigger picture, e-rickshaws are the eco-friendly solution to public transportation in crowded cities all over the world.

It’s impressive to see how Delhi has embraced electric public transportation through e-rickshaws since 2010! This innovative solution significantly reduces pollution while providing an essential service to commuters. As the city continues to tackle unregistered e-rickshaws, enhancing regulation will only strengthen this eco-friendly initiative and serve as a model for other urban areas worldwide.

Indeed, while electric public transportation is a positive advancement, the reliance on coal for electricity generation in India is still a major concern on overall emissions. Transitioning to renewable energy sources is essential for maximizing the environmental benefits of electric transport and achieving meaningful reductions in pollution levels.
