Maharashtra to Cancel Licences of Auto and Taxi Drivers Who Don't Learn Marathi

Maharashtra has introduced strict new rules requiring auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers to know the Marathi language as a condition for holding a driving licence. Drivers who do not comply with the language requirement face suspension of their licences as an initial penalty. If a driver continues to fail the Marathi language requirement even after the suspension period, authorities will move to permanently cancel their driving licence. The policy appears aimed at ensuring that commercial drivers operating in Maharashtra can communicate effectively with local passengers in the regional language.
