The government is also looking to include electric bicycles under the capital subsidy scheme so as to bring down its cost for customers.The maximum subsidy cap has alreadybeen increased to 40 per cent of the e-two-wheeler cost as compared to 20 per cent earlier. The scheme now has a closure date of March 31, 2024 as against the earlier closure date of March 31, 2022.
