25% of autorickshaws in Mumbai get e-meters
25% of the one lakh autorickshaws in Mumbai are now fitted with electronic meters.
Transport authorities made it mandatory for all autorickshaws that applied for registration or for renewal of the annual driving permit after March to have an electronic meter. By the end of August, e-meters had been installed in 27,435 autorickshaws. April 2013 is the deadline set for all rickshaws within the city limits to install e-meters.
The initiative was taken by the authorities after cases of e-meter tampering emerged. The new meters are claimed to be tougher to tamper with than conventional mechanical meters.
