The Government of India has latest officially launched Bharat Taxi, a new ride-hailing mobility platform, jo cooperative-led model par based hai. Is initiative ka aim private taxi apps jaise Ola aur Uber ke alternative ke तौर par ek transparent aur driver-friendly service provide karna hai. Aaj February 5, 2026 ko New Delhi mein, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah ne is service ka inauguration kiya.
Bharat Taxi ko Sahakar Taxi Cooperative Limited ke under develop kiya gaya hai, jo ek multi-state cooperative society hai aur Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002 ke tahat registered hai. Is platform ka focus cooperative sector ko strengthen karna, drivers ke liye social security badhana aur commuters ko citizen-centric transport option dena hai.
Zero-Commission and Surge-Free Model
Bharat Taxi ka sabse important feature iska zero-commission aur surge-free pricing model hai. Private aggregators ke comparison mein, yahan peak hours mein surge pricing nahi lagti. Isse drivers, jinhe platform par “Sarathis” kaha jaata hai, apni earning ka major hissa retain kar paate hain, jabki riders ko predictable fares milte hain.
Driver Welfare and Social Security
Government-backed Bharat Taxi initiative driver welfare par strong emphasis rakhta hai. Top performing Sarathis ko share certificates diye jaayenge, jo “Sarathi Hi Malik” concept ko reinforce karta hai. Iske saath hi, drivers ko ₹5 lakh personal accident insurance aur ₹5 lakh family health insurance coverage bhi di ja rahi hai.
Platform par financial benefits ke alawa, drivers ke liye dedicated support system, emergency assistance aur verified ride data bhi available hoga, taaki driver aur passenger dono ki safety ensure ho sake. Abhi Delhi mein seven support centres operational hain, jise aage chal kar nationwide expand kiya jaane ka plan hai.
Inclusive Growth and Women Empowerment
Bharat Taxi ke under “Bike Didi” initiative bhi introduce kiya gaya hai, jiska purpose women drivers ki participation ko encourage karna hai. Abhi tak 150 se zyada women is programme se jud chuki hain, jo mobility sector ko zyada inclusive banane ki direction mein ek important step maana ja raha hai.
Pilot Phase and Early Adoption
Bharat Taxi ka soft pilot phase late 2025 mein Delhi-NCR aur Gujarat mein start hua tha. Initial phase mein hi platform par daily rides aur driver registrations ka strong response dekha gaya. Reports ke mutabik, 3 lakh se zyada drivers already onboard ho chuke hain, aur rozana hazaaron rides complete ho rahi hain.
National Expansion and Future Plans
Aage chal kar, Bharat Taxi ka plan hai ki woh major Indian cities aur states mein apni services expand kare. Is expansion ke liye platform DigiLocker, UMANG aur API Setu jaise National Digital Public Infrastructure ka use karega. Authorities ka kehna hai ki har state mein support centres establish karke cooperative-based mobility system ko aur strong banaya jaayega.
Overall, Bharat Taxi ka launch India ke ride-hailing ecosystem mein ek naya model introduce karta hai, jahan driver ownership, fair pricing aur transparency ko priority di ja rahi hai, aur aane wale time mein is initiative par sabki nazar rahegi.
