Delhi Govt to Allow Private EVs and BS-VI Cars as Shared Taxis to Curb Pollution

The Delhi government has agreed in principle to allow privately owned electric vehicles (EVs) and BS-VI compliant cars to operate as shared taxis. This move, aimed at reducing pollution and congestion, requires amendments to existing rules, which the government has pledged to make. Ride-hailing companies committed to launching shared taxi services and women-driven cabs within a month, while also exploring integration of e-rickshaws and airport shuttles. Passenger safety measures were emphasized.
