flag India launched Bharat Taxi, a driver-owned ride-hailing app in Delhi, giving drivers 80% of earnings and enhanced safety features.

flag Union Home Minister Amit Shah stressed that drivers, not business owners, keep the profits when he launched Bharat Taxi, India's first cooperative ride-hailing platform, in Delhi on February 5. flag In contrast to traditional apps that demand high commissions, the cooperative model retains 80% of earnings for drivers, who are stakeholders. flag With real-time monitoring, SOS alerts, and emergency response through a Joint Command and Control Center, the service runs at 34 prepaid taxi booths spread across 21 locations. flag MeitY's National e-Government Division for paperless onboarding, Delhi Traffic Police, DMRC for last-mile connectivity at metro stations, and AAI to oversee airport operations across the country, including at IGI Airport with reduced rates, are among its partners. flag Through cooperative ownership and digital integration, the initiative seeks to improve driver income, safety, and service quality.
