India’s Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has proposed lowering the minimum fleet for cab rental operators from 50 vehicles to five, with at least two at each operating location. The proposal would allow rentals with or without a driver and remove the requirement for branches in five tourist cities, the ministry said in a November 12 release issued through the Press Information Bureau. The release gave no effective date.

The ministry proposed replacing separate main and branch licences with a single electronic licence valid across the issuing state or union territory. Licence grants and renewals would have a 60-day processing timeline. Operators would also have to provide round-the-clock grievance support and arrange emergency repairs and towing.
