Petrol, diesel and CNG prices are rising across the country. Yes, so far all these prices have increased very fast and due to this, the drivers of Uber and Ola are constantly demanding that the rates of cab service should be increased. There's a piece of big news amidst all of this. In fact, now the Uber company has accepted this demand and the rates have been increased to 12 per cent. Recently, in a statement, Nitish Bhushan, Uber Head, South Asia and India, said, "We understand the feedback of our drivers. They are concerned that oil prices have suddenly gone up so much, in such a way that they are also incurring losses.''
At the same time, he said, "We are increasing the trip price by 12 per cent in Delhi-NCR. We will keep an eye on oil prices and take more decisions if needed. The decision has now been taken when the drivers of both Ola and Uber went on strike. The strike also started when the company did not take any decision on their demand.''
Let us also tell all of you that since March 22, while petrol and diesel have become costlier by 10-10 rupees in instalments in the country, the price of CNG has also increased by 15 rupees in the last three months. Due to this, there was tremendous pressure on Ola-Uber to increase the service rate by the drivers. Yes and given the huge demand of drivers, Uber has increased its service by up to 15 per cent in many parts of the country, while Ola increased the fares by up to 11 per cent.
