In a relief to e-rickshaw operators, Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday announced that the battery-operated rickshaws will not be barred from plying in the national capital and they will be considered as non-motorised vehicles. Addressing a rally of e-rickshaw owners and drivers at Ramlila Maidan, Gadkari said that e-rickshaws with motor power till 650W would now be considered as non-motorised vehicles.
"E-rickshaws having motor till 650W will now be regarded as non-motorised vehicles. Now, Transport department and traffic police can not challan them from tomorrow," Gadkari said.
