E-autos are currently operating from metro stations in areas like Chhatarpur, Dwarka, Rohini, and northwest Delhi. These e-auto permits have been allocated to authorized operators at these metro stations.
"Another 1,116 -- 779 general and 337 women -- e-autos are expected to be registered by the end of August," said a DMRC official.
DMRC Managing Director Vikas Kumar highlighted the significance of last-mile connectivity for metro commuters. He also welcomed the Delhi government's recent introduction of a bus service to improve last-mile connectivity but pointed out that the size of buses may not be ideal for all metro stations.
“Ensuring last-mile connectivity for commuters is a key issue for the Delhi Metro,” Kumar told PTI.
Talking about the e-auto service, Kumar explained the advantage of e-autos over buses.
“Buses are big in size and may not be suitable for all metro stations while e-autos are easily manoeuvrable," Kumar said.
He further elaborated on the partnership with companies to provide and operate the e-autos as per DMRC’s requirements.
“We are partnering with companies who will provide the e-autos and operate them as per our requirements. These will run on our circuit to ensure last-mile connectivity,” he added.
