​​According to a top official at the heavy industries ministry, a sum of ₹183.15 crore has been paid back to e2w buyers so far. "Customers need to continue approaching the e2w makers to seek a refund. Once the companies give back the money, they need to furnish a proof of the same to IFCI. After that proof is verified, the funds parked with IFCI will be released to the companies," the official told ET.
