Three Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) have received ten applications from six companies, including Ola and Uber, for the aggregator license as per the provisions of the new cab aggregator policy, RTO officials said on Monday. However, most of the applicants lacked requisite facilities including a driver training facility, simulator, and specific vehicle tracking and monitoring system with a panic button for public service, they said.

The six applicants are ANI Technologies Pvt Ltd (Ola), Uber Mumbai Partners Seva Kendra, Meru Mobility Tech Pvt Ltd, Mahindra Logistics Ltd, Mediamiles Pvt Ltd (All Miles), and Roppen Transportation Services Pvt Ltd. Observing that app-based taxi firms Ola and Uber operating in Maharashtra without valid licenses was an instance of "complete lawlessness", the Bombay High Court had earlier this month directed all the aggregators to apply for a valid license by March 16, if they wish to continue operations.
