Taxi startup BluSmart picks EV fight with Uber

Indian ride-hailing startup BluSmart is seeking to challenge Uber and Ola for market share in the country with bets on an all-electric taxi fleet and an aggressive bid to lure disgruntled passengers and drivers from the incumbents.

A clean energy push by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is expected to significantly change India’s transport industry in years ahead, with major implications for ride-hailing firms.
