The Delhi government’s transport department has made it mandatory to install speed governors in taxis and cabs operating in the national capital.
Delhi Transport Department has made it mandatory to install speed governors in taxis and cabs. The decision comes after a recent notification from the Union Road Transport Ministry.
The new rule is intended to reduce road accidents by limiting the maximum speed of taxis and cabs at 80km/h.
As per the Delhi Traffic Police data, 1,622 and 1,671 people were killed in accidents in 2015 and 2014 respectively. Also, close to 16,000 people were left injured during these two years.
Rajender Soni, the general secretary of Delhi Pradesh Taxi Union said, "A speed governor is installed at the cost of around Rs 10,000. If the decision is not withdrawn, taxi drivers will start the protest against the Delhi government and Centre."
The government's decision to limit the maximum speed will include all cabs and taxis, as well as ride-hailing services such as Ola and Uber.
