Ola, Uber deny charging higher prices for Apple users than for Android in India after Centre's notice

Cab aggregating firms Ola and Uber on Friday denied the allegations of implementing a differential pricing model for their services that were availed through Android and Apple phones in India.

The denial comes a day after Centre slapped notices over allegations that Apple users were being charged higher prices for rides of similar distances on the mere ground that consumers using costlier smartphones have greater purchasing power and can pay more than people using Android phones. Ola said they have clarified allegations against them to the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) and will further work with the consumer body “to clear any misunderstanding in this regard”.
