Tired of paying high-prices for Ola and Uber rides in Delhi? In that case, you will soon be able to avail the benefits of a new cab-hailing platform. The Central government is set to roll out the ‘Bharat Taxi’ service in the capital from January 1, 2026. This government-supported initiative will transform how people book daily transport in the city.
For years, commuters in Delhi have flagged concerns about the price spike on existing cab services, particularly during peak hours or bad weather. These price surges leave the drivers and passengers with no choice, resulting in either cancellation of plans or paying a higher price for a ride.

The Bharat Taxi app will serve as an alternative to popular private cab aggregators. It aims to resolve the fare hike problem during rush hours by offering a simpler and transparent pricing system. It is currently in a trial phase and is being tested in Delhi and Rajkot. After Delhi, there are plans to roll out the service in Gujarat.
Features of Bharat Taxi?
One of the striking features includes plans to introduce fixed fares, which means passengers will have to pay the same price even during rush hours or weather disruptions, etc. The app is likely to display clear fare details before booking, allowing users to have a clear picture of how much they will be charged.
Another feature of Bharat Taxi is its driver-friendly revenue model. Drivers can earn more than Ola, Uber, and Rapido per trip as they will not be required to pay commissions from ride fares. They will receive more than 80 percent of the total fare, while the remaining 20 percent will be used for their operations and welfare.

- Multiple options among cabs, ranging from sedans and hatchbacks to Innovas, tempo travellers, etc.
- Experienced and verified drivers
- Simple booking process with real-time vehicle tracking
- Thoroughly sanitized taxi
- 24×7 service

Over 56,000 drivers in Delhi have already registered for Bharat Taxi. This means there will be enough vehicles to handle the daily cab ridership. This app will also offer auto, car, and bike services.
