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. 11
