Government plans 'Sahkar' taxi service to rival Ola, Uber
Union Home Minister Amit Shah just announced "Sahkar," a fresh take on ride-hailing where drivers are actually part-owners.
The idea is to give drivers more control and fairer pay, offering an alternative to big names like Ola and Uber.
Sahkar promises transparent fares and direct profit-sharing, so drivers aren't just working for the app—they're building it.
App to launch in Delhi, Gujarat, and Maharashtra
Launching first in Delhi, Gujarat, and Maharashtra by December 2025, Sahkar will let two-wheelers, rickshaws, and regular taxis sign up.
Backed by major cooperatives like IFFCO with ₹300 crore in funding, about 400 drivers are expected to join at the start.
No hidden fees, steady earnings for drivers
Unlike other platforms that charge high commissions or use surge pricing, Sahkar's cooperative model means no hidden fees—just steady earnings for drivers.
Profits go straight to the people behind the wheel instead of investors.
If it works as planned, this could really shake up India's gig economy by making things fairer for those who drive us around every day.
