The Namma Auto project is aimed at reducing emissions and pollution from the auto rickshaw sector in Bengaluru and Chennai. While the project focuses on promoting a shift from 2 stroke to 4 stroke auto-rickshaws in Bengaluru, the effort is to enable a transition to electric auto-rickshaws in Chennai, as a last mile solution to the metro. The project also aims to promote sustainable lifestyles and improve incomes of the auto-rickshaw drivers.
