India is set to launch Bharat Taxi, the country’s first cooperative-run taxi service operated by Sahakar Taxi Cooperative Limited, in Delhi from 2027, offering a homegrown alternative to private cab aggregators like Uber and Rapido. 

• Commission Model: Zero-commission model initially, with 100% ride payments going directly to drivers. 
  • A proposed ~20% cooperative fee, later to be redistributed to drivers as incentives, unlike profit extraction by private platforms. 
• Collaboration: Bharat Taxi is a collaborative initiative of National e-Governance Division (NeGD), Digital India Corporation, Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), and Sahakar Taxi Cooperative Limited to build a national taxi platform integrated with DigiLocker, UMANG, and API Setu 
• Pricing Policy: No surge pricing in normal conditions; dynamic pricing only in specific situations. 
• Safety Features: The platform includes driver verification, integration with Delhi Police, along with real-time ride tracking, and 24×7 customer care.
