Auto, taxi fares in Capital hiked, app-based services not covered

NEW DELHI: 

According to the revision issued in a notification dated January 9, the meter-down (minimum) fare for autos will be 30 for the first 1.5km instead of the existing 25. Thereafter, every kilometre of the journey will cost 11 instead of the current *9.50.

Similarly, the meter-down fare for AC and non-AC taxis for the first 1km has been increased from the existing *25 to 40.

For non-AC taxis, every kilometre of the journey will cost *17 rather than the existing 14, while the fare of AC taxis goes up from 16 to 20 per kilometre.

The hike does not include cab aggregators like Ola and Uber because they are not currently regulated by the Delhi government, and do not hold permits from the transport department, officials said.
