Four app-based taxi aggregators in Maharashtra, including Ola and Uber, have failed to comply with some provisions of the central government’s Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines 2020, after which the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Transport Authority (MMRTA) decided to take guidance from the state government on issuance of licences to them, an official said on Thursday.

In February 2023, the Supreme Court had directed app-based taxi aggregators to apply for a licence within the March 6 deadline in order to ply their trade in Maharashtra. Thereafter, Uber India System Limited and ANI Technologies Limited, which operate Uber and Ola app-based services, respectively, had applied for cab aggregator licence at Tardeo RTO in south Mumbai in the beginning of March, he said.
