On Wednesday, the Karnataka government outlawed the online reservation of autorickshaws through the ride-hailing services Ola, Uber, and Rapido.

Following a meeting on Tuesday between representatives of the mobility players and the Karnataka Transport and Road Safety Department, the decision was made.

Following a discussion with the three businesses, the three corporations have decided to stop aggregating autorickshaws as of Wednesday.

According to Kumar, until the government makes a decision, ride-hailing firms like Ola and Uber cannot offer autorickshaw services.

The Karnataka government issued a warning to app cab aggregators that it would fine violating drivers Rs5,000. Only the businesses discovered to be aggregating autorickshaws will be subject to sanctions; no action will be taken against the autorickshaws themselves.
