I wrote about it a few days ago...and the apparent resolution is just to good not to come back to it. For your reference see the original post here: Strange News On Indian Diesel Cabs
Apparently the Supreme Court has decided to leave the diesel cabs on the road for now, thus providing a reprieve to the local BPO industry.
India is well known for its bureaucracy...and reading the article shown below makes clear why. There are 2 organizations able to issue taxi permits. Both organizations have different permit standards and are geared towards different sides of the market. One version of the cabs is for tourists only.
It will be interesting how it will resolve itself over time but at least for the moment the status quo has been maintained and the Indian BPO employee can be ferried to and back from work.
