The Delhi Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, approved the 'DURGA' e-auto scheme on 23 September 2026 to allocate electric autos exclusively to women and transgender persons for self-employment. In the first phase, 1,300 pink electric autos will be registered, 1,170 for women and 130 for transgender beneficiaries, with a maximum of 90 women allotted and 10 transgender allotted autos permitted per revenue district. Eligible women must be aged 20 to 40, hold a valid Delhi voter identity card, an LMV licence and a Public Service Vehicle badge, and belong to a family whose combined 2025-26 income does not exceed Rs 5 lakh, while the e-autos will carry mandatory DURGA branding and a three year lock in period during which they cannot be sold or transferred.
