The strike has been publicised as an 'All India Breakdown' and is intended as a mark of protest.
Cab drivers strike on February 7: The nationwide protest has been dubbed as the "All India Breakdown" and drivers are likely to switch off their ride-hailing apps simultaneously.
The unions have demanded that minimum base fares be fixed for all app-based transport services, including cabs, autos, bike taxis and other aggregator-led services.
What sets Bharat Taxi apart is its operating model. Unlike conventional ride-hailing platforms that typically charge drivers commissions ranging from 20% to 30% per ride, Bharat Taxi follows a zero-commission structure.
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.
The app will be formally launched at 3 pm on February 5, 2026, by Union Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, marking the start of a nationwide rollout planned in phases
