“There is an urgent need to have a seamless and uniform policy for taxi services in the country. This report will be non-binding in nature and help resolve issues arising out of recent advancements in the field of taxi services. A single central scheme for various categories of taxi services, such as radio taxis and app-based taxi aggregators, will help bring uniformity and end the confusion. The Delhi government agreed to submit its draft scheme on taxi service providers to the central committee for its consideration. The court said app-based taxi service providers such as Ola and Uber must comply with the price cap notified by the Delhi government.
