‘Bharat Taxi’ service launched in Uttar Pradesh; service also rolled out in Gorakhpur, Varanasi, Kanpur and Prayagraj along with Lucknow

The 'Bharat Taxi' service, based on the cooperative model principle 'Driver is the Owner', has been launched in Uttar Pradesh, expanding to Gorakhpur, Varanasi, Kanpur, and Prayagraj along with Lucknow. Union Minister of State for Cooperation Shri Murlidhar Mohol stated that the initiative aims to make drivers stakeholders in their own service without conventional aggregator commissions. During the launch event, alongside state dignitaries, several portals and applications—including the 'Mukhyamantri Krishak Samriddhi Yojana' portal, Urvarak Setu mobile app, and UPCDC mobile app—were introduced, and Memoranda of Understanding were exchanged between Bharat Taxi and entities like the Airport Authority, Lucknow Metro Rail, and Lucknow Police.
