Industry experts had warned that a 10% cap would hit revenue and operations of app-based taxis

Aggregator shall be permitted to charge a fare 50% lower than the base fare

Driver of a vehicle integrated with the aggregator shall receive at least 80% of the fare

Rs 25 or 30 shall be the base fare for state governments that haven’t determined the city taxi fare
