There is a need to create a suitable regulatory framework to promote shared mobility, liberalise the existing taxi permit systems and encourage new forms of urban mobility to create reliable alternatives to car ownership. This was also accentuated by the need to bring aggregators, radio taxi operators and traditional city taxis under a uniform, fair and transparent regulatory framework. Accordingly, the Ministry constituted a committee to review the existing regulatory conditions for taxis and other passenger vehicles in the country. These guidelines would help provide the States with an overarching, common detailed framework to formulate detailed regulations for taxi operations.
