The National Council for Road Safety says that three-wheeler registrations have fallen considerably in the past year.
The Council says the drop is due to several decisions taken by the government recently to regulate the three wheelers.
Transport and Civil Aviation Ministry has gazetted a series of three-wheeler safety regulations in January 2017 but they were revised after objections from three wheeler associations. The revised regulations are expected to be presented in Parliament this year.
