flag India launched Bharat Taxi, a driver-owned ride-hailing app in Delhi, giving drivers 80% of earnings and enhancing safety with real-time monitoring and emergency response.

flag Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched Bharat Taxi, India’s first cooperative ride-hailing platform in Delhi on February 5, emphasizing that drivers, not corporate owners, keep the profits. flag Under the cooperative model, drivers are stakeholders who retain 80% of earnings, unlike traditional apps that take large commissions. flag The service operates at 34 prepaid taxi booths across 21 locations with real-time monitoring, SOS alerts, and emergency response via a Joint Command and Control Centre. flag It has partnerships with Delhi Traffic Police, MeitY’s National e-Governance Division for paperless onboarding, DMRC for last-mile connectivity at metro stations, and AAI to regulate airport operations nationwide, including at IGI Airport with discounted fees. flag The initiative aims to boost driver income, safety, and service quality through digital integration and cooperative ownership.
