The Center made it possible to include “Netransport Motorcycles” by riding in revised Taxi aggregators in time, such as Karnataka, forbidden bike taxis.
The instructions issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Motorway (Morth) 1. It is said that state governments can take these revised instructions within three months.
The provisions of 23.1 Motor vehicle aggregator instructions: “The government may allow motorcycle aggregation without transmission to travel as a shared mobility through aggregators,” he adds that this will help reduce traffic, vehicle pollution and ensure passenger mobility, hyperlocal and livelihood.
The Rapido bikes application welcomed this step. “The government by recognizing non -transport motorcycles as a means of shared mobility opened the door to more affordable transport options for millions, especially in insufficiently operated and hyperlocal areas,” he said in a press statement.
Parallel
While transport is a parallel subject, the state government can follow the instructions issued by the Central Government in issuing a license to aggregators, according to Section 36 of the Motor Vehicle Act (amendment) of 2019.
Indian federation of traffic workers based on applications (IFAT) opposed this step and said that non -defense wheels or those with white boards must not be allowed to function as taxis.
“Taxis on motorcycles on white number (private) remain illegal. These services threaten passengers’ safety, avoid tax and harm the livelihood of licensed taxi, car and wheel drivers,” said Shaik Salauddin, National Secretary General, IFAT and founder President. They repeated their demand for the Theangana government for disable such services.
In April 2025, he ordered the only judge of the Karnataka, Ola, Uber and Rapido to stop the taxi on a bike, unless the state government would frame proper instructions. The bench gave them time by June 15 to close their two -round shop. The run aggregators appealed against the order. The state government took the view that double -rounds are not safe for commuters, especially women, especially for women. It is against the use of wheels registered for personal use for commercial purposes.
In other changes, the instructions of the center allow the aggregators to charge up to double the basic fare during the top hours compared to a maximum of 1.5 times the previously allowed, while maintaining at least 50%during the off -peak period.
However, the instructions have reduced the requirement of a maximum number of hours of drivers. In the 2020 instructions, drivers could not work for more than 12 hours a day and had to be provided for 10 hours after 12 hours.
IFAT opposed price increases and urged state governments “repair minimal and maximum tariffs to stop arbitrary prices of App.
