The DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) and ETO, a Hyderabad-based electric mobility startup, have come into a deal to deploy electric autos at the metro stations in Delhi. The first phase of the deal starts from the Azadpur metro station. Also, In this phase, 36 autos were flagged. 
The thing which has struck everyone's mind is that women drivers drive all-electric vehicles. Currently, the plan has started with 36 autos, and the estimated goal is to have 100 vehicles in action in the next two months. In addition, to train women drivers, ETO has partnered with some organisations. The organisations are the Transport Department of Delhi, GMR Varalakshmi Foundation and MOWO social initiatives, among others.

And, now we are going to deploy 300 electric autos at Metro Stations in Delhi in collaboration with DMRC in a phased manner, all driven by women driver-partners to provide much required first and last mile connectivity services to metro commuters in the capital."
