Uber may apply for radio cab licence in Delhi

BENGALURU: In a bid to get back on Delhi’s roads, Uber is seeking a licence to operate under the revised Radio Taxi Act of 2006. The app-based rideshare service was banned in the city following the rape of a passenger in December.

Uber insists it is a technology company and not a cab operator.

Neeraj Singhal, head of expansion (India & the subcontinent) at Uber Technologies, told TOI, "We are evaluating options in Delhi where we have suspended operations. One of these is applying for a licence under the amended radio taxi scheme."
