Unused subsidies meant for e-rickshaws may be diverted to cargo e3Ws
New Delhi : The Centre is likely to tweak the PM E-DRIVE scheme to subsidise more cargo electric three wheelers (L-5 e3w). According to officials aware of the move, L-5 e3w sales have far exceeded expectations, leading to existing allocation running out in a few weeks. "Sale of eligible e-rickshaws and e-carts have lagged. Subsidies earmarked for them will be used for L-5 e3w where strong demand is being registered," a senior official told ET. The ministry of heavy industries currently offers an incentive of ₹2,500 per kWh for domestically manufactured electric two-and three-wheelers registered on and after April 1, 2025. These sops are available till March 2026, or until the subsidy runs out. These demand incentives are under the ₹10,900 crore-PM E-DRIVE scheme, which also has allocations for electric buses, charging stations, and testing agencies upgradation, among others. The scheme approved in September 2024 earmarked ₹715 crore subsidy for 2,05,392 cargo e3w. Another ₹192 crore was allocated for subsidising 1,10,596 e-rickshaws and e-carts. At 155,085 units, more than 75per cent of the target for the sale of L5-e3w has already been achieved by May 2025-end. But the e-rickshaw and e-cart category has grossly underperformed the other segments, achieving just 2per cent of the scheme target at 2,736 units. Under the electric two-wheeler category, 1,198,707 units have been sold, meeting 48per cent of the scheme target. ET reported in November 2024 that cargo e-3w sales were zooming, causing the fiscal 2024-25 target to be achieved in a few weeks of the scheme's launch. This prompted the centre to amend scheme guidelines, allowing continued subsidies but lowered per unit incentive and tapping into allocations made for fiscal 2025-26.

CCPA's advisory on dark patterns sent to over 50 online platforms
India's consumer protection watchdog recently issued an advisory to over 50 online platforms, asking them to eliminate dark patterns and conduct self-audits in three months. The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) sent the directive not just to e-commerce giants such as Amazon and Flipkart, but also to travel aggregators, food-tech platforms, ride-hailing firms, meditech start-ups, streaming services, and fintech companies. Business Standard reviewed a copy of the June 5 email, which noted ongoing instances of dark pattern use despite existing guidelines. In some cases, the CCPA said it had issued notices. The advisory cited Rule 4(9) of the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, which mandates that consumer consent for purchases must be explicitly obtained — not automatically recorded through pre-ticked checkboxes or similar mechanisms. Flipkart, in a statement, said the company welcomes the CCPA's emphasis on fostering online consumer confidence. "At Flipkart, our commitment to develop & run an open, transparent, technology driven marketplace focused on our customers is in complete sync with the government's focus. Our active collaboration with the government and other stakeholders has been key to jointly shaping a responsible e-commerce ecosystem. We constantly keep assessing and self-audit requirements to ensure comprehensive and timely compliance , and we see this advisory as a reaffirmation of the values already central to our Flipkart Marketplace Platform," the statement added. Another platform acknowledged the advisory but noted that the dark pattern guidelines are not legally binding. It argued that such practices are not an industry-wide issue and that firms experiment with design elements to boost engagement and sales. Business Standard wrote to platforms including Amazon, Meesho, Apple, Uber, BookMyShow, Paytm, Namma Yatri, Meta, Nykaa, Zomato, Swiggy, BigBasket, Tata 1mg, and Snapdeal. However, these queries did not elicit a response till the time of going to press.

Pakistan: Former PM Imran Khan likely to get bail in Al-Qadir Trust case on June 11, says top PTI leader
Incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan is likely to get bail on June 11 in the Al-Qadir Trust case, a top party leader has said here. read more Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan is expected to secure bail on June 11 in the Al-Qadir Trust case, according to a senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader, even as the party gears up for a fresh political battle under his leadership from behind bars. The Islamabad High Court is scheduled to hear pleas seeking suspension of convictions handed to Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in the high-profile case involving the alleged misappropriation of £190 million recovered by UK authorities from a Pakistani property tycoon. The case has become a central point in the ongoing legal troubles facing the PTI founder, who has been incarcerated at Adiala Jail since August 2023. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Speaking to ARY News, PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan expressed confidence that Khan and his wife would receive relief when the court convenes next week. The hearing had previously been deferred at the request of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), which sought more time to finalise its arguments. The Al-Qadir Trust case centres on allegations that the Khan government unlawfully facilitated the transfer of £190 million, originally frozen by Britain's National Crime Agency (NCA)—to a real estate developer's liabilities in Pakistan. In return, a charitable trust set up by Khan and Bushra Bibi allegedly received a land donation from Bahria Town, the tycoon's firm. Both Khan and his wife are named as the sole trustees. Gohar told ARY News on Saturday that the PTI will collaborate with opposition parties to launch a movement, which will be led by the party's patron-in-chief from jail. He urged the opposition parties to join PTI for the sake of the country's survival and security and revealed that a strategy for the upcoming budget has been finalised. 'The party will address a press conference on June 9 regarding it,' he said. Earlier last month, Khan had said he would lead his party's upcoming protest movement against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) led coalition government at the Centre, from the prison. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister and a prominent leader of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf: party, Ali Amin Gandapur, earlier this week threatened to launch a full-scale movement for the cricketer-turned-politician's release after Eid Al-Adha. Khan, who faces multiple cases and has been convicted in a few of them, has repeatedly claimed the February 8 general elections of last year to have witnessed the 'Mother of All Rigging.' He has called his rivals the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) as 'mandate thieves.' Rana Sanaullah, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs, while speaking with the media at his hometown of Faisalabad in Punjab on Saturday, urged the PTI to accept Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's offer of a meeting for negotiations and sit with the government to make amendments to the election laws. Gohar claimed Khan's wife Bushra Bibi, was being held in jail without any charges to pressure the PTI founder and claimed no deals will be made for the founder's release. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD He also dismissed rumors of internal rifts within PTI. Some years ago, the National Crime Agency (NCA) of the United Kingdom agreed to a settlement worth 190 million pounds with the family of property tycoon Malik Riaz. According to an earlier report in Dawn, the NCA, in August 2019, declared that it was granted freezing orders on eight bank accounts containing 100 million pounds, 'suspected to have derived from bribery and corruption in an overseas nation.' The NCA said it had informed the then-government, run by Khan's PTI. It is alleged that Khan asked Shehzad Akbar, his aide on accountability, to resolve the matter, who in turn, 'settled' the case with the frozen funds belonging to the national treasury being adjusted against Bahria Town's liability, the Dawn said. Bahria Town Ltd, Malik's real estate firm, was found to have illegally acquired thousands of acres of land on Karachi's outskirts in the district of Malir. It had donated hundreds of acres of land to the Al-Qadir Trust, a non-profit that has only two trustees – Khan and Bushra Bibi. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD With inputs from agencies
