The Maharashtra government has reportedly approached Google and Apple seeking the removal of ride aggregator applications such as Ola, Uber, and Rapido from their app stores. The move is linked to ongoing disputes over licensing compliance and regulatory approvals required for operating in the state.
Authorities stated that several aggregator platforms were allegedly functioning without meeting certain mandatory licensing conditions under state transport regulations. The issue highlights growing regulatory scrutiny in India’s rapidly expanding mobility and ride-hailing sector.
Industry experts believe the development could impact app-based transportation services, drivers, and daily commuters if stricter enforcement measures are implemented. Companies involved are expected to continue discussions with state authorities to resolve compliance-related concerns.
