Delhi to Meet Ola, Uber on Restoring Shared Rides as Fitness-Test Network Expands

The city is moving to long-term, coordinated measures that pair shared mobility with stricter vehicle checks.

Overview

  • Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said cutting the number of vehicles is essential to pollution control, putting shared transport and electric mobility at the center of policy.
  • The government will convene a special meeting with cab aggregators to discuss reviving pre-pandemic shared taxi options, increasing women drivers, and integrating private EVs into fleets.
  • Automated commercial vehicle fitness enforcement is being scaled up with Jhuljhuli already testing around 70,000 vehicles annually and the Burari facility under upgrade.
  • New automated centres at Nand Nagri and Tehkhand are slated to start by March 2026, lifting total capacity across four sites to roughly 250,000–300,000 commercial-vehicle tests a year.
  • Five additional testing stations at DTC depots in Bawana, Ghazipur, Savda Ghevra, GTK Depot and Dichau Kalan have approvals, alongside metro expansion plans that have received in-principle central clearance on select Phase-5A corridors and ongoing dust and construction controls.
