After Delhi High Court announcement today that Ola can run cabs only fueled with compressed natural gas or CNG in the national capital, Ola has said that it has made available multiple opportunities for driver entrepreneurs to adopt CNG, through various partnerships with car manufacturers, financiers and CNG distributors like IOCL that have further catalysed drivers to comply.
Ola has announced that it has replaced existing mini, Sedan, Prime and TFS categories (only in Delhi – not in NCR) with two simple categories – Within Delhi and Delhi To NCR.
Within Delhi – This category would be for users who are in Delhi and want to travel within Delhi and would be serviced by its all-CNG fleet of cabs
Delhi To NCR – This category would be for users who are in Delhi and want to travel to NCR(Gurgaon, Faridabad, Noida etc) and would be serviced by its inter-state cabs.
As a bonus, Ola has said that the pricing for all cabs irrespective of whether it is a hatchback, sedan or SUV, would remain at its mini prices.
