The first 1,000 buyers of passenger e-cycles will also be given an additional subsidy of Rs 2,000, he added.
The government will also give subsidy on purchase of heavy duty cargo e-cycles and e-carts for commercial uses, he said. The subsidy on cargo e-cycles will be Rs 15,000 each for first 5,000 buyers.
