Currently, most e-tailers and restaurants outsource deliveries to two-wheeler riders as it both speeds up the process and is cost-effective. In many cases, the delivery person owns the bike and gets paid a commission upon completion of the job. This is all set to change with the government planning a new categorisation called 'two wheeler goods vehicles'. These will be fitted with a box for carrying goods, according to a draft notification issued by the Union road transport ministry.
"Any motor vehicle used for commercial purposes should be treated as such regardless of the number of wheels. We are witnessing rampant misuse of the law by several firms that use private two-wheelers for commercial purposes. We are writing to the government as we need rules," said SP Singh, senior fellow and co-coordinator of Indian Foundation for Transport Research and Training, an independent body.
