Bharat Taxi Launch: Things You Should Know About Govt-Backed Uber and Ola Rival

Bharat Taxi, India’s first cooperative cab service by the Ministry of Cooperation and NeGD, offers a driver-owned, commission-free alternative to Ola and Uber. Drivers, called Saarthis, keep full earnings and share governance through the Sahakar Taxi Cooperative led by Amul’s Jayen Mehta. Integrated with DigiLocker and UMANG for transparency, it starts a 650-cab pilot in Delhi in November 2025, expanding to 20 cities by December. Backed by cooperatives like Amul, IFFCO, NABARD, and NCDC, it is claimed to ensure fair fares and reliability.
