Pune's Regional Transport Office (RTO) has introduced a 25 percent night surcharge on auto-rickshaw fares from midnight to 5 AM, effective September 1. This new fare structure also imposes a ₹3 surcharge for luggage items measuring 60 cm x 40 cm or larger. The revised rates are ₹30 for the first 1.5 km and ₹20 per additional kilometre within Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.
Beyond the city limits, a 40 percent night surcharge is applicable between 11 PM and 5 AM. Auto-rickshaw operators can now charge the additional nocturnal fee and accommodate larger luggage within the specified dimensions. To ease the transition, temporary tariff cards with the new rates are available until February 28, 2027, after which calibrated meters must be used strictly.
Inspection and calibration services are available at select locations to ensure adherence to the revised fare structure.
