BUT ADVERSELY IMPACTS INCUMBENTS

                               3
NEED FOR REGULATORY CONVERGENCE
• Retaining benefits of innovation

• Addressing the risks coupled with innovation

• Taking into account concerns of incumbents

The Maharashtra City Taxi Rules, 2017 were issued with these objectives

                                                                          4
IS CONVERGENCE LIKELY?
               Key questions:
               • Are the objectives likely to be achieved?
               • Is manner of achievement such that costs to
                 stakeholders are significantly outweighed by the
                 benefits?

              Methodology:
              • Survey of 1,000 (750 + 250) drivers, 1,000 riders,
                and Key informant Interviews
              • Understanding plausible changes in behaviour of
                key stakeholders i.e. riders and drivers
              • Analysing experience, perception, preference and
                constructing possible scenarios
                                                                     5

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Allow taxis with engine capacity of at least 600 CC to link with app based aggregators.
  Explore alternatives like power to weight ratio to foster rider safety and comfort.
• Replace fleet composition with periodic market assessment to determine the need and
  timing of regulatory prescription.
• Allow taxis with All India Tourist Permits to operate. Rationalise permit fee for all permits.
• For all drivers, requirement of Public Service Vehicle Badge can be replaced with references
  and alternate authentication documents.
• Transition period to comply with clean fuel requirement should be rationalised. Consider
  regulating emission standards in stead of type of fuel.
• Colour standardisation requirement for all taxis can be replaced with sticker of logo of
  service provider.
• Regulatory Impact Assessment should be institutionalised in regulation making.
