The Delhi State Transport Authority (STA) has decided to give permits to battery and CNG-run four-wheelers under its 'eco-friendly service', which presently gives licence only to three-wheeler green vehicles. The STA at a recent meeting approved the expansion of the 'eco-friendly service' to include in its ambit green four- wheelers to boost last-mile connectivity in the city, an official said. Presently, the 'eco-friendly service' permits are given only to three-wheelers running on battery and CNG, most of which are nearing the 15-year limit, beyond which they have to be taken off road.
