Expansion with Uber Bike brings affordable mobility and flexible earning opportunities to smaller cities
Uber has expanded its services to 100 more cities across India, taking its presence to 225 cities. The expansion, led by Uber Bike, will bring affordable mobility options and flexible earning opportunities to tens of thousands of local drivers.
The new cities span 18 states and one Union Territory, from Jammu and Tirunelveli to Silchar and Jamnagar. Uber Bike will initially provide everyday mobility and first- and last-mile connectivity in these markets.
Shri Nitin Gadkari, Hon’ble Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Government of India, said: “India’s growing road network is connecting smaller cities and unlocking new economic opportunities. I congratulate Uber on expanding to 100 more cities, bringing affordable mobility to more Indians while creating livelihood opportunities for thousands of people. The Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines 2025 provide states with a clear path to embrace bike taxis and other new mobility solutions and I urge states to adopt the Guidelines and enable affordable first- and last-mile connectivity for their citizens while boosting livelihood creation at scale. Uber’s partnership with the Sadak Suraksha Abhiyaan reflects the importance of ensuring that growth in mobility goes hand-in-hand with safer roads.”
Rishant Ghosh, Director – Consumer & Growth, Uber India & South Asia, said: “Expanding to 100 new cities marks an important milestone as we take Uber deeper into India and strengthen access to reliable, affordable mobility to millions. The aspiration for convenient mobility is no different in a smaller city than it is in a major metro city, and we are investing to meet that demand. Uber Bike is particularly well suited to these markets, offering an affordable and convenient option for everyday journeys while creating flexible earning opportunities for local drivers. As we cross 220 cities in India, we remain excited about the opportunity to serve millions more across the country.”
Uber said the expansion also supports its broader multimodal mobility strategy, with Bike and Auto complemented by cars, airport rides, Intercity and public transport integrations. Uber Bike trips include safety features such as Realtime Driver ID Check, an in-app SOS Button, Share Trip Status and Uber’s 24×7 Safety Line.
As part of its Independence Day celebrations, first-time riders can avail themselves of a free first Uber ride for a limited period, subject to terms and conditions.
