New India e-commerce rules set to hit Ola, Uber

Some restaurant associations have been complaining to the government against Siwggy and Zomato and their practices on discounts and high commissions.

Bengaluru: The government’s proposed changes for the e-commerce sector will impact a wide range of online companies selling goods and services, at least four industry sources told ET.

The Department of Consumer Affairs’ proposals will hit online travel company MakeMyTrip, food delivery firms Zomato and Swiggy, ride-hailing service providers Ola and Uber, besides home services company Urban Company, they said.

These companies are currently reviewing the potential impact of the draft India e-commerce rules, which go beyond big marketplaces like Amazon India and Flipkart, sources told ET.
