New Delhi – Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to officially launch Bharat Taxi, a cooperative ride‑hailing platform, in Gujarat today. The launch, announced by DD News, marks the government's push to promote cooperative models in the urban mobility sector.
Bharat Taxi aims to provide an alternative to private ride‑hailing services by operating under a cooperative framework, potentially offering drivers a share in ownership and profits. Officials say the platform will be rolled out in major cities across the state, with plans to expand further based on user response.
The inauguration is expected to draw attention from transport unions, technology firms, and policy makers, highlighting the government's interest in integrating cooperative principles with modern digital services.
Stakeholders anticipate that the venture could create new employment opportunities while fostering competition in the ride‑hailing market. The event will be covered live by state media, and Shah is likely to outline the broader vision for cooperative enterprises in the transport sector.
The launch underscores a broader strategy to diversify mobility options and encourage community‑owned business models in India's fast‑growing urban landscape.
