In an effort to improve road safety, the Delhi transport department is considering giving unregistered e-rickshaw operators a one-month window to complete vehicle registration, officials said on Wednesday.
Initially introduced as an eco-friendly transport option, e-rickshaws have increasingly become a problem on city roads due to their slow movement, contribution to traffic congestion and safety concerns.
According to the official data of the Delhi government, 204,131 e-rickshaws are registered on the Vahan dashboard as of January 2026. However, unofficial estimates put the actual numbers much higher.
“A plan is under consideration to give one month’s time since the order is issued to unregistered e-rickshaw owners to get registered so that livelihood is also maintained along with safety on roads,” the transport department said in reply to a question in the Delhi Assembly’s recent winter session. The date for the start of the scheme has not been decided yet.
