Mumbaikars can now decide: Should rickshaw drivers be forced to know Marathi?

State throws open draft law linking licences to language skills, invites public objections before rollout

Weeks after announcing that public transport drivers would be required to know Marathi, the Maharashtra government has formally moved to implement the policy, issuing a draft notification to amend the Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.

The Home (Transport) Department published the draft under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, proposing changes to Rules 4, 78 and 85 that make a working knowledge of Marathi a condition for licensing, permits and renewals—particularly for auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers.

Under the proposed amendments, licensing authorities will be empowered to assess an applicant’s ability to communicate in Marathi before granting authorisation to drive public service vehicles.
