India Ola, Uber, Rapido Fares Go Up: Cab Fares Surge, Rules Now Allow 2X Charges During Peak Hours

The new Cab Fare Surge rules under the 2025 Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines allow cab aggregators like Ola, Uber, and Rapido to charge up to 2X the base fare during peak hours — a sharp increase from the previous 1.5X limit. This Cab Fare Surge policy aims to balance demand and supply, but has sparked debates among daily commuters and drivers alike. While aggregators argue that the revised Cab Fare Surge system accounts for dead mileage and peak-time strain, many passengers feel the burden of increased fares during rush hours. The Cab Fare Surge rule also includes penalties for unjustified cancellations by drivers or passengers, capping at ₹100. #CabFareSurge #DynamicPricing #SurgePricingIndia #NewCabRules2025 #OlaUberNews #2XCabFare #AggregatorPolicyIndia #PeakHourPricing #GovtCabPricing #TransportMinistryRules #CabCancellationPenalty #DeadMileageRule #CabFareSlab #UrbanCommuteRules #IndianCommuterConcerns ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.104~GR.125~

India-Pakistan Ceasefire: What Forced Pak to Seek Ceasefire with India? Operation Sindoor Impact

India’s powerful and precise military response under Operation Sindoor forced Pakistan to seek a ceasefire, following the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam. The Indian Army’s targeted strikes on nine terror hubs across Pakistan and PoK sent a clear message: terror will be met with force. Despite international outreach, including behind-the-scenes pressure from the U.S. reportedly linked to Pakistan’s IMF bailout, India held its ground—refusing any political dialogue or compromise. The ceasefire was brokered solely through military channels, with Pakistan’s DGMO reaching out first. Indian officials have reiterated: any future provocation will cross a red line. #IndiaPakistanCeasefire #IndiaPakistanTensions #IndiaPakistanNews #IndiaVsPakistan #IndiaPakistanConflict #IndiaPakistanWar #IndiaAttacksPakistan #PakistanVsIndia #IndiaPakistan2025 #IndiaPakistanRelations #IndiaPakistanTalks #IndiaPakistanCrisis #IndiaPakistanLive #IndiaPakistanUpdate #IndiaPakistanBorders Also Read Omar Abdullah Questions Ceasefire Amid Fresh Explosions In Srinagar: 'What On Earth Just Happened?' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/omar-abdullah-questions-ceasefire-amid-fresh-explosions-in-srinagar-what-on-earth-just-happened-4149995.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Pleads for Ceasefire After India's Relentless Response to Terror :: https://www.oneindia.com/temp/pakistan-pleads-for-ceasefire-after-indias-relentless-response-to-terror-4149969.html?ref=DMDesc Ceasefire Crumbles Within Hours As Pakistan Violates Truce Along LoC :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/ceasefire-crumbles-within-hours-as-pakistan-violates-truce-along-loc-4149927.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.194~
