On-Demand Taxi Market in India 2018-2023

    BANGALORE, INDIA, October 17, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ --

Introduction

The evolution of on-demand taxis in India happened in early 2014 and 2015. Fundamentally, the growth happened at the cost of radio taxis like Traveltime, Wings etc. The popularity of on-demand taxis grew very rapidly because they were able to plug gaps in the intra-city transportation, something the municipal public transport couldn't. The ease of availing a door-door ride through smartphone at a reasonable cost fuelled the on-demand taxi market in India.

Market Dynamics

The cab aggregators call themselves a tech company as they don't own any of the vehicles and charge a commission only for their "match-making" services.

The biggest risk to on-demand taxi market in India is the scrutiny it gets from local state governments. The Gujarat government is the latest addition to the list. The Gujarat government is considering a proposal to limit the number of cabs run by cab aggregators at 20,000 each. The Karnataka government has already pushed the cab aggregators to limit the fare charged as per the cost of the vehicle. There are safety risks too and the on-demand taxi operators are using tech to solve that. For example, Ola has rolled out a real-time ride monitoring system to keep tab of any deviation in routes.

Many cities don't have legislation regarding app based taxis. Due to this, new entrants like Namma TYGR in Bengaluru had to stop operations.
