Uber India launched safety features including encrypted in-cab ride recording, ambulance assistance via Dial 4242, anti-typing restrictions, and custom trip PINs at its safety conference, with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari praising its road-safety partnership.

Why this matters

Uber's India safety push follows its EV co-development MoU with JSW Group and comes amid fare pressure from oil shocks and tightening platform rules tied to gig-worker standards.

Retail-brand signals steady at 2,144 over the past 90 days.
