| Submission on Chandigarh Bike Taxi/Contract Carriage Regulations |
IAMAI made a submission to Shri Nitin Yadav, Secretary, Transport, of the Union Territory of Chandigarh in light of recent developments regarding the regulation of Bike Taxis/Contract Carriages in Chandigarh. In its submission, IAMAI highlighted the pivotal role played by two-wheeler modes of delivery in enabling and sustaining commerce in Chandigarh. A change in regulations pertaining to the same can therefore have a cascading impact on a number of allied industries and in turn Chandigarh’s economy. Further, low entry barriers in the motorcycle delivery market provide an avenue for temporary/informal income generation to thousands of workers in the UT of Chandigarh and any regulatory standards can deter individuals from entering the sector. IAMAI recommended that the government continue its position of allowing a white-plate-based regime for two-wheeler-vehicle-based deliveries and allow passenger transport as it would provide income-generating opportunities for the residents of Chandigarh and facilitate greater access to e-commerce marketplaces. IAMAI also requested that going forward, the government consult all stakeholders before moving on a path to regulate the delivery sector.
