All About Bharat Taxi: Govt-Backed Rival To Ola, Uber & Rapido | Amit Shah Shares Details

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has announced the launch of Bharat Taxi, a government-backed mobility platform positioned as an alternative to private ride-hailing giants like Ola, Uber and Rapido. The initiative is based on a cooperative earnings model aimed at improving driver income while expanding affordable last-mile connectivity. The platform is expected to integrate 2-wheeler, 3-wheeler and 4-wheeler taxi services, along with the Sarathi Didi feature focused on women safety and employment. The move signals a major shift in India’s app-based mobility space, with institutional partnerships and a profit-sharing structure designed to benefit driver partners directly.
