Maharashtra govt may bring Swiggy, Zomato, Zepto under bike-taxi rules

Maharashtra state government proposes rules to bring food delivery and e-commerce platforms under bike-taxi regulations.

Platforms like Swiggy, Zomato, and Zepto may be required to maintain EV fleets, contribute 2% of fares to a driver welfare fund, and obtain a unique licence ID.

Proposed rules aim to regulate delivery services and e-commerce platforms currently operating outside bike-taxi framework.

Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik confirms proposal, which is under legal scrutiny.
