The Bharat Taxi app, promoted by the Ministry of Cooperation, is set for an official launch by the end of January in Delhi and other Indian cities. During its soft launch, the service recorded around 5,500 daily rides and more than 1.4 lakh registered drivers. 

The platform aims to provide fair pricing, driver benefits, and integration with public transit, while challenging private ride-hailing services.

Soft Launch Performance

Since its pilot launch in Delhi on 2 December 2025, the Bharat Taxi app has recorded an average of 5,500 rides per day. 

This includes around 4,000 rides from the airport and 1,500 from other city locations. Feedback from riders and drivers has been positive, reflecting interest in a cooperative-driven ride-hailing model.
