Gig workers suffer while Telangana takes its time on guidelines

HYDERABAD: Despite the Union government unveiling the Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines (MVAG) 2025 nearly a year ago, the state government has dragged its feet before finally forming a transport department committee. This panel, established just two months ago, is now expected to submit its report next month.

According to sources, the committee is currently examining several critical issues, including the operation of white-board private vehicles on aggregator platforms, fare regulations, and pricing slabs.
