Three-day Delhi auto-taxi union strike (May 21-23) disrupts Ola, Uber, Rapido with surge pricing and supply-chain chakka jam threatening grocery and produce flows. Drivers protest unrevised fares, fuel hikes, and aggregator commission cuts.

Why this matters

Adds to mounting pressure on Ola, Uber and Rapido after Maharashtra FIRs over bike taxi operations and pending GST Council clarity on aggregator tax, compounding regulatory and operational risks.

Footfall theme steady with 46 signals in last 90 days.
