This Navratri, Delhi’s proposed DURGA E-Auto Scheme brings a practical dimension to women’s empowerment by linking economic independence with access to livelihood opportunities. The scheme, approved by the Delhi Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, will distribute 1,300 pink electric autos in its initial phase, including 1,170 for women and 130 for transgender persons.
 

DURGA stands for Driving, Upliftment and Rozgar for Women and Transgender. The initiative aims to help beneficiaries build a steady source of income while promoting electric mobility and improving last-mile connectivity across the national capital. Applications will be received through a digital portal developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), Delhi.
