Panaji, Goa: The Goa government does not plan to allow global cab aggregators like Uber and Ola to operate in the state, Transport Minister Sudin Dhavalikar said on Thursday.
Mr Dhavalikar expressed this in a written reply in the assembly to a question asked by Nationalist Congress Party member Churchill Alemao.
BJP leaders including Nilesh Cabral, have been demanding the introduction of cab aggregators like Ola and Uber in Goa.
Ola and Uber have established dominance in the market by employing aggressive price wars that other cab companies couldn't match.
Uber, which operates in over 650 cities across the world, is unsurprisingly the choice of cab platform among international riders. Riders from 94 countries have used Uber in India, the company said.
Uber is currently competing with Ola for the tentpole position in ride-hailing space.
