After the grand success of Namma Yatri app, the Karnataka Rajya Chalakara Parishath (Karnataka State Driver's Council) and Agnibhu Technologies launched the 'Nagara Metered Auto' app.

K Somashekar, of Karnataka Rajya Chalakara Parishath told in a media interview, “This new app will be a win-win situation for both passengers and drivers. In many cases, drivers don’t receive the correct fare even if a longer distance is covered. Now, most people prefer to book autos through digital mode.

”The new launch of ride hailing app by Karnataka Government, will give  a tough competition to famous cab booking apps like Uber, Ola and Rapido.The 'Nagara Metered Auto' app allows users to book rides and pay government-fixed fares— 30 for the first two kilometers and 15 for every subsequent kilometer, as displayed on the meter.According to the reports of the media, the app will not have surge pricing or commissions, providing a fair deal for both drivers and passengers.

According to the reports of the media, the app will not have surge pricing or commissions, providing a fair deal for both drivers and passengers. One of the significant features of this app is its zero-commission model, which means drivers will receive the full fare paid by passengers. The app will also allow drivers to receive ride requests through various channels, including on the street, via a website, WhatsApp, and other ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce) buyer application.

The Karnataka Rajya Chalakara Parishath plans to enroll at least 1,000 drivers in the app's first phase of rollout. Only auto-rickshaws with calibrated meters certified by the state Legal Metrology Department will be allowed to enroll.

Somashekar highlighted that,  the new app would benefit both passengers and drivers by ensuring fair fares and reducing reliance on high-commission ride-hailing services.
