Maharashtra orders Ola, Uber, Rapido to apply for aggregator license
India
Maharashtra just told big ride apps like Ola, Uber, and Rapido to apply for an aggregator license by September 1 under fresh rules focused on passenger safety measures and regulating fares and driver welfare.
Right now, only Bharat Taxi and Deodatta Taxi have their paperwork sorted.
Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik made it clear: miss the deadline, and you could face action.
Aggregators must have unique license ID
Every aggregator now needs a unique license identification number.
Old licenses will remain valid for 60 days from the start of the new rules or until fresh applications are decided, whichever is earlier.
If companies want to keep operating in Maharashtra, they'll need to stick to all the updated guidelines.
