Maharashtra govt has revoked provisional licence of bike taxi aggregators: Transport minister

The Maharashtra government on Monday revoked the provisional licence issued to some motorbike aggregators as they did not fulfil certain requirements, state transport minister Pratap Sarnaik said.

Speaking in the legislative council, Sarnaik said the e-bike policy was to give employment to the sons of soils, adding that in states like Goa, tourist prefer bikes because it is cheaper for a single person rather than taking an autorickshaw or taxi.

He said in August 2024, the cabinet permitted plying of e-bikes in cities with a population of more than a lakh.
