Telangana gig workers push Ola, Uber fare transparency and commission caps
Gig-worker unions in Hyderabad have proposed changes to Telangana’s draft Motor Vehicles Aggregator Rules, seeking minimum fares, transparent calculations, commission caps, insurance, pension and independent appeals against driver suspensions.
Telangana gig-worker unions proposed aggregator-rule changes including minimum fares, transparent fare calculations and commission caps, alongside insurance, pension, maternity benefits, multilingual contracts and independent appeals for driver account suspensions.
Why this matters
The Telangana proposal adds regulatory pressure on Ola after Chandigarh suspended its aggregator licence for six months and Chandigarh Tricity drivers struck over fares. It also follows Vanguard’s 99% valuation cut to Ola parent ANI Technologies amid Rapido and Uber competition.
