The Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry welcomes the Goa Transport Aggregator Guidelines 2025 as a timely and progressive step toward strengthening the state’s mobility ecosystem. In a business environment where digital access, reliability, and ease of movement are central to productivity, the availability of regulated app-based taxi services is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity.
Across sectors—be it tourism, manufacturing, real estate, retail, logistics, or services—businesses in Goa are increasingly dependent on a workforce that requires dependable and safe transport options. App-based taxi services bring much-needed convenience, enhance workforce efficiency, and create a more investor-friendly environment by improving ease of doing business.
The guidelines strike a well-considered balance between enabling digital transport innovation and protecting local livelihoods. By ensuring drivers are paid the full government-notified fare, mandating timely payments, and introducing safeguards like health insurance and vehicle subsidies, the framework reflects both economic and social responsibility.
Moreover, the regulation promotes broader goals of sustainable urban development. By encouraging shared mobility and reducing the reliance on private vehicles, it can help decongest roads, lower pollution, and improve the overall quality of life in Goa.
GCCI urges the government to implement these guidelines in a time-bound manner and calls upon all stakeholders—aggregators, drivers, and citizens—to participate constructively in building a transparent, fair, and technology-driven mobility system that supports Goa’s future growth.
