Bharat Taxi launch set to disrupt ride-hailing market

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday launched Bharat Taxi in Delhi-NCR and Gujarat, India’s first cooperative-based ride-hailing platform, at an event at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi. The platform, operated by Sahakar Taxi Cooperative Limited (STCL) in collaboration with the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) and supported by NABARD and Amul, marks first of its kind government-backed entry into the aggregator-dominated ride-hailing space.
