The company plans to launch its operations in Mumbai as a part of the Maharashtra Government's Fleet Taxi Service and subsequently in Delhi, Kolkata, Chandigarh , Hyderabad, Banglore, Chennai and Pune. This service will be initially launched with 150 taxis, gradually increasing the fleet size to 1,000 by year end 10,000 cabs across major metros of the country in five years.
Commuters will have the opportunity to commute in a modern, air-conditioned taxi, backed by GPS-based dispatch technology. They will now be able to call up a taxi at a desired place of pick-up, with a 100
percent assurance of a tamper- proof meter and a printed
receipt. Emergency security features are installed in the car for
complete passenger safety.
Neeraj Gupta, Managing Director of V-Link Group says,
"Through this project, V-Link hopes to upgrade the quality of urban
transportation in Mumbai and also contribute in a small way to uplift
the community of chauffeurs who will be engaged in these operations.
