Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah recently launched India’s first cooperative-based taxi service, Bharat Taxi, in New Delhi. To make commuting easier for Delhiites, Bharat Taxi services will now be available at 10 Delhi Metro stations. Here is the complete list of stations, along with all the details you need to know.
Bharat Taxi Now At 10 Delhi Metro Stations
A senior DMRC official shared with The Indian Express that Bharat Taxi services have now been made available at 10 metro stations across Delhi-NCR. This decision comes after the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sahkar Taxi Cooperative Ltd. (STCL).
STCL is a multi-state cooperative society and a cooperative-based mobility provider. It is also the operator behind Bharat Taxi. Under this partnership, Sahkar Taxi will run bike taxis, auto rickshaws and cabs on a marketplace model for last-mile connectivity. For now, these services will operate only from 10 metro stations.

According to a report by The Indian Express, commuters can download the Bharat Taxi mobile application on Android and iOS. This app will be integrated with the DMRC Sarthi application. Once the integration is complete, commuters will be able to book seamless door-to-door mobility services. They will also be able to plan trips, check fare estimates and track their vehicles in real time.
Unlike Ola and Uber, Bharat Taxi takes no commission and transfers fares directly to drivers’ bank accounts. Moreover, Bharat Taxi is also being positioned as a rival to private cab companies.
