The central government has mandated ride-hailing aggregators to adhere to the targets fixed for inclusion of electric vehicles (EVs) in their fleet.

These targets would be determined by an appropriate government organisation responsible for regulating air quality or by the state government.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways brought clarity on these rules while it released the Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines (MVAG) 2025 on July 1 (Tuesday).

Additionally, the transport authority has also proposed aggregators to opt for motorcycles that are not used for commercial or public transport purposes for rides to reduce traffic congestion as well as pollution caused by vehicles.

“The state government may allow aggregation of non-transport motorcycles for journey by passengers as shared mobility through aggregators resulting in reduced traffic congestion and vehicular pollution, along-with providing inter alia affordable passenger mobility, hyperlocal delivery, creating livelihood opportunities,” the regulatory body said.

Meanwhile, in terms of the long-battled ride fares of these platforms, the Centre also permitted to charge a minimum of 50% lower than the base fare and a maximum dynamic pricing of two times the base fare specified by the aggregator.
