Karnataka HC refuses relief to bike aggregators; Nasscom warns state govt of huge job losses
Despite efforts from stakeholders, bike taxis will stop plying on roads post June 15 as the Karnataka High Court on Friday refused to stay a single judge's order prohibiting the use of such taxis until a formal policy is introduced. The appeal was filed by ANI Technologies ( Ola ) and Uber India , challenging Justice B Shyam Prasad's order to suspend services. The division bench of acting chief justice Kameswar Rao and Justice Sreenivas Harish Kumar on Friday directed Ola, Uber and the transport department to file their submissions on merit by June 20. The matter was adjourned to June 24. The IT industry body, Nasscom , on Thursday wrote to the Karnataka government urging it to defer the June 15 deadline, warning of large-scale livelihood disruptions. Nasscom said the role of tech-enabled mobility, such as bike taxis, boosts last-mile connectivity, eases traffic congestion, and supports gig workers. 'The ecosystem not only offers affordable and efficient mobility but also sustains lakhs of gig workers across the state, including students, women, migrants from other parts of Karnataka and those recovering from the post-pandemic economic crisis,' the industry body noted in its letter. Nasscom requested the state government to provide interim relief while simultaneously initiating a consultative process to develop a balanced regulatory framework for a long-term solution. It suggested that existing models in states like Delhi, Telangana and Rajasthan should be reviewed to formulate rules. Nasscom reiterated its commitment to work closely with the government to craft a forward-looking policy that supports innovation and ensures commuter safety. Ride-hailing services and the state government had been at loggerheads after Karnataka, in March last year, banned the operation of bike taxi services owing to what the government saw as a lack of encouraging response from ride-hailing platforms to offer services with electric two-wheelers (E2Ws). The government withdrew the Karnataka Electric Bike Taxi Scheme that it had notified on July 14, 2021. The sources in the government argued that the transport department was not inclined to allow bike taxi operations, as 1.7 lakh autos and cabs in Bengaluru paid taxes every quarter. However, bike taxis had no compulsion for such taxes as they are meant for private use, paying only a lifetime tax.

Bike taxis must obey Karnataka high court order: Transport department
Bengaluru: With Karnataka high court refusing to stay a single bench order directing bike taxi operators to cease operations, the Karnataka transport department has reiterated that aggregators like Rapido, Ola, and Uber must stop offering bike taxi services from June 16. A department source said, "The govt has maintained bike taxi services are illegal in Karnataka. The dept took the same stand before HC. Now, the division bench has refused to stay the order." The govt has shown no intent to introduce a regulatory framework to legalise bike taxi services. The ongoing tussle between aggregators and the transport department persisted for years. The service, which saw a significant spike in demand post-pandemic, gained popularity in Bengaluru due to its affordability and convenience. However, autorickshaw drivers strongly opposed bike taxis, calling for a complete ban. In 2021, the govt introduced a policy on e-bike taxis with several regulations, but it was withdrawn last year citing concerns over misuse and safety. Nasscom urges govt to frame policy The National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom) has formally appealed to Karnataka transport minister Ramalinga Reddy, requesting immediate intervention to prepare a clear policy framework for bike taxi operations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The appeal comes in response to HC's directive to halt bike taxi services.
