Key Highlights of the Launch
The launch of Bharat Taxi on January 1, 2026, marks a major shift in India’s ride-hailing industry. Operated by the Sahakar Taxi Cooperative Limited, it is designed to challenge the dominance of private giants like Ola and Uber.
No Surge Pricing: Unlike private aggregators that hike prices during rain, traffic, or peak hours, Bharat Taxi maintains a fixed, transparent fare structure.
Affordable Rides: The service aims to be the most pocket-friendly option in India, with reports suggesting base fares as low as ₹30 for the first 4 kilometers.
Zero Commission Model: In a bold move, the platform does not take a percentage of the driver’s earnings. Drivers pay a small flat daily/monthly subscription fee and keep 100% of the fare.
Safety Integrated: The app is linked with Govt. Digilocker for driver verification and features a direct emergency link to local police databases.
