Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday said the Delhi government has agreed “in principle” to allow privately owned electric vehicles (EVs) to operate as shared taxis through cab aggregators as part of a broader push to accelerate clean mobility and combat air pollution.
Ms. Gupta said that to achieve this, the government will amend relevant rules and put in place an effective mechanism to address the concerns of cab aggregators. “The government is, in principle, willing to provide facilitation to companies, resolve their issues and introduce flexibility in rules so that people are encouraged to purchase EVs and use aggregator services for commuting,” the Chief Minister’s Office said in a statement.
