The Maharashtra government has announced a deadline for ride‑hailing platforms Ola, Uber and Rapido to convert their entire fleets to electric vehicles. The directive is part of the state’s push for cleaner mobility.
The state’s transport department issued the directive, requiring the companies to shift to zero‑emission vehicles by the stipulated date. Ola, Uber and Rapido will need to replace their existing petrol and diesel cars with electric models to comply.
Officials said the move aims to reduce urban air pollution and encourage wider adoption of electric vehicles across Maharashtra. The deadline aligns with the state’s broader electric vehicle promotion strategy.
Failure to meet the deadline could attract penalties under the state’s transport regulations, though the exact sanctions have not been detailed in the announcement.
