Almost a fortnight after being on strike, drivers of cab aggregators Ola and Uber called it off after a marathon meeting with state transport minister Diwakar Raote. They said they were looking forward to receiving revised fare proposals from the companies to sync with fuel hikes.

Maharashtra Rajya Rashtriya Kamgar Sangh's leader Sachin Ahir, who led the strike said, "We're willing to consider the new proposals. A second round of meetings will be held again on November 15. We hope we don't have to go on strike again. We apologise to commuters for all the inconvenience." A section of union leaders said earlier in the day that they would take out a morcha to Azad Maidan on Saturday.
