Rapido on Tuesday said there is confusion surrounding the Karnataka government’s withdrawal of the electric bike taxi scheme as well as inaccurate information circulating on social media platforms.
The company added that the recent order issued by the state government does not mention banning Rapido or any other aggregator operating under the protection of the high court order.
“We clarify that the electric bike taxi scheme notified in 2021 and now withdrawn in 2024 only pertains to the grant of licence for operating electric bike taxis. This fact is self-evident under Clause 1(4), which specifically mentions that this scheme shall only apply to battery operated electric motorcycles or electric bikes,” said the company.
