Ola’s landmark move will refine the ride-hailing sector as the company launches a nationwide 0% commission model. What this means is that its over one million driver-partners will now retain 100% of their fare earnings. This transformative shift includes autos, bikes, and cabs, and grants drivers complete financial control without any hidden ride or income caps. Ola is the first and only platform in the country to introduce a zero-commission framework at this scale. The 0% commission plan will be rolled out in a phased manner, starting with Ola Autos, followed by Ola Bikes, and finally extending to Ola Cabs.
Ola Consumer spokesperson said, “The launch of the 0% commission model pan India marks a fundamental shift in the ride-hailing businesses. Removing commissions empowers driver partners with much more ownership and opportunity. They are the backbone of the mobility ecosystem, and giving them complete control of their earnings will help in creating a more resilient and sustainable ride-hailing network across the country.”
Drivers keep 100% of their fares with Ola’s new model.
Ola’s new model offers the driver partners an opportunity to earn without any limitations on the number of rides or any hidden commission.
From a customer standpoint, Ola continues to focus on safety and service quality. The company upholds stringent safety standards, including comprehensive driver background checks, consistent vehicle inspections, and robust in-app emergency features to ensure a secure experience for riders.
As one of India’s few profitable consumer internet companies, Ola’s focus remains rooted in innovation and impact. Beyond ride-hailing, the company is at the forefront in the field of sustainable mobility through its electric vehicle initiatives.
With this new strategic move, Ola not only strengthens its leadership in the mobility space but also paves the way for a more transparent and driver-first industry model.
