The Maharashtra government has amended its Motor Vehicles Rules to make 'working knowledge of Marathi language' mandatory for taxi, auto-rickshaw, and app-based cab drivers. Non-compliance may lead to suspension or revocation of driving licences. The deadline for learning Marathi is August 15, with no extensions. Drivers must demonstrate proficiency at authorisation and renewal.
