Bharat Taxi has initiated its pilot trials in Delhi and Gujarat as part of a transformative shift toward a cooperative, driver-owned ride-hailing model. Supported by the Union Ministry of Cooperation and National e-Governance Division, the platform aims to create an alternative to conventional aggregators by offering zero-commission earnings, no-surge transparent pricing, and democratic participation for drivers, who are recognised as stakeholders rather than just service providers. The early trials include beta testing of the mobile app, rapid onboarding of over 51,000 drivers, and active operations in Delhi and the Saurashtra region. These efforts mark an important step in promoting cooperative-driven digital platforms under the “Sahakar Se Samriddhi” vision.
