Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution & New and Renewable Energy, Prahlad Joshi, said on Tuesday that he has urged ride-hailing platform Uber to support drivers and fleet owners in transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs), in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's push for clean mobility.

Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the CII Annual Business Summit 2026, Joshi said he discussed EV adoption and consumer-related issues during his meeting with the Uber CEO.

"He had come to meet me. I have told him two things. Being one of the largest networks, I have requested him and insisted to him that he should support the people, the drivers and the owners of the Uber fleet to convert into EV vehicles," the minister said.

Joshi added that discussions were also held on consumer affairs-related issues and compliance with government directions aimed at protecting consumer interests.
