Good news for Uber, Rapido! Centre issues new guidelines, they will now be able to...
Tuesday, 1 July 2025 The Union government on Tuesday for the first time allowed use of non-transport (private) motorcycles for passenger journeys through aggregators, subject to state government approval, providing long-awaited regulatory clarity for India's shared mobility sector.
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.
