Uber Technologies said that Delhi’s plans to only allow electric vehicles to function as bike taxis would risk “finishing off the sector” and impact the mobility needs of millions. Uber has set a 2040 target for 100 percent of its rides to be in zero-emission vehicles, public transport or with micro-mobility, including in India. The company has also announced plans to introduce 25,000 EVs over three years in India. However, the Delhi government has warned digital platforms offering two-wheeler bike taxi rides, which Uber offers in Delhi and many other states in India. Uber has urged the government to initiate industry dialogue, in order to protect the livelihoods and mobility needs of millions of Delhiites.
