The Tamil Nadu government has issued a government decree to provide a ₹20,000 subsidy for food delivery workers to purchase electric two-wheelers. This initiative aims to support gig economy workers in companies such as Amazon, Flipkart, Zomato, and Meesho.Under this new scheme, delivery workers who are registered with the welfare board are eligible to apply for the subsidy. The application process is conducted through the official website of the welfare board.
The subsidy is intended to help workers transition to more sustainable and cost-effective modes of transport, aligning with broader environmental and economic goals.
