Mega Cab Service Provider OLA launches e rickshaw category for Delhi- NCR region

The popularity of E-Rickshaws as a mode of transport continues unabated. This fact once again got evident from a big decision of mega cab operators Ola. This was to launch e rickshaw category for the Delhi-NCR region. OLA has no wonder taken the country by storm by revolutionizing the way people of India travel by cabs. The company is a close rival for Uber in the same segment. The service will enable you as a user to book rides on the electric vehicle in Delhi-NCR region. This only goes to show the great future the battery operated rickshaws has under the present conditions. With the capital and the entire NCR region reeling under the heavy pollution emitted by the vehicles which run on conventional fuel, e rickshaw offers an excellent alternative.

What the launch in the capital and NCR region was all about?

The service was launched by the Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi as a part of the “Stand Up India initiative”. This initiative is mainly aimed at promoting entrepreneurship. As a part of this program a massive number of 5,100 Ola e rickshaws were launched in partnership with  Bhartiya Micro Credit (BMC). The battery operated rickshaws under the program are to be deployed across Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad and Ghaziabad. It has been planned to scale up the project and it is to cover many Tier-III cities as well. As per the initiative Ola is to charge 10% commission from the e-rickshaw operators. It has however been decided not to charge any convenience fee from users as is done in case of Auto Rickshaws.

The fare of the rides would vary from city to city. The users are to pay Rs 25 for 2 Kms and Rs 8 per Km for the following distance. As a user you can pay cash or Ola Money, which is its wallet service. 

What the initiative means for the e rickshaw sector?

The initiative only shows how much the e rickshaw sector has been in focus for both the central and state government. It is undoubtedly the way forward. A major reason for this is electric rickshaws offer pollution free transport to commuters. What is also great is that the running and maintenance of these rickshaws is low. Thus with so much of government steps being taken by the central and state governments it also offers great business prospects to the people operating in the sector. However the challenges at present for the sector are many too. These include in terms of the charging stations and other infrastructural issues which need to be worked out. But with so much of work being done, it is likely that the challenges facing the sector is facing would soon be overcome.
