Maharashtra to legalise bike taxis from Aug. 1; permits only for domicile holders
Maharashtra will allow bike taxis to operate from August 1 under a new policy that restricts permits to domicile holders who can understand Marathi, marking a major shift in the state’s approach to app-based two-wheeler ride services. The policy aims to regulate an estimated 4-4.5 lakh illegal bike taxis, create local employment and generate revenue through a ₹5 daily permit fee and a 2 per cent levy on every ride for a driver welfare fund.
