New Delhi:Government-backed e-commerce platform DigiHaat on Friday announced that it has expanded its mobility services to 55 cities across India through partnerships with driver-owned cooperatives Bharat Taxi and Namma Yatri.

The company said the expansion is aimed at promoting a cooperative and citizen-centric model in the ride-hailing sector.

The newly launched ‘DigiHaat Rides’ service, which was previously operational in Delhi NCR and Bengaluru, has now been extended to cities including Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Kochi, Lucknow, Mumbai, Surat, Thiruvananthapuram and Vadodara, along with several tier-2 and tier-3 cities.

The platform said its mobility model differs from conventional ride-hailing services by focusing on driver ownership and lower commissions.

According to the company, drivers retain greater control over their earnings and decision-making on the platform, while customers benefit from transparent pricing and community-based accountability.
