- Worker Category: Unlike Phase 1, which was for students only, Phase 2 allows working youth (public or private sector) to apply.
- Purely Electric: To reduce reliance on expensive fuel, the 2026 phase focuses almost exclusively on E-Bikes (electric scooters and motorcycles).
- Female Quota: A dedicated quota for female students and working women has been implemented to ensure safe and independent mobility.
- Registration Discount: Owners of these bikes will enjoy a 95% discount on vehicle registration fees through the Excise Department.
