Noida, December 17: The Bharat Taxi app is set to begin its operation in Delhi from January 1, 2026, as part of an initiative supported by the Government of India. The new platform aims to offer commercial vehicle drivers an alternative to private platforms such as Uber, Ola, and Rapido.

Cooperation Minister Amit Shah confirmed the development in a written reply to the Lok Sabha on December 2, highlighting that the app is designed to free drivers from dependency on private companies. ‘Bharat Taxi App’ in Testing and Trial Phase, Says Nitin Gadkari Amid Rising Cases of Surge Pricing by Private Online Cab Aggregators.
