NEW DELHI: Cab rides are going to be costlier in Delhi-NCR. App-based cab aggregator Uber announced on Monday that it was going to increase trip fares by 12% in Delhi-NCR to help its driver partners.
The decision comes in the wake of a series of protests by different associations of cab, taxi and auto drivers over the increase in the CNG prices in Delhi-NCR. Since March, the CNG price in the national capital has increased by Rs 12.48 per kg and stands at Rs 69.11.
“To help cushion drivers from the impact, Uber has raised trip fares in Delhi-NCR by 12%,” said Nitish Bhushan, head of central operations, Uber India and South Asia. “Over the coming weeks, we will continue to track fuel price movements and will take further steps as needed,” he added.
