Centre plans to streamline and speed up the licensing process for cab aggregators
The government may launch a centralised portal for ride-hailing platforms, offering a single-window clearance system for aggregator licence applications.
The portal is expected to go live in the next three to four months, two people familiar with the development said.
The ministry of road transport and highways plans to streamline and speed up the licensing process for cab aggregators such as Ola, Uber and Rapido across states by integrating the approval mechanisms of individual state governments, the first person said.
