The state informed that it had formed a high-level committee headed by a retired judge of the Bombay High Court after scrapping the Hakim Committee on fare hike.<\/p>\n<p>The high court approval is necessary as a PIL by Mumbai Grahak Panchayat had challenged the Hakim committee and its findings few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The MMRTA had on May 11 proposed a hike in the basic fare for autorickshaws and taxis. The minimum fare for autos is expected to go up from Rs 17 to Rs 18, while taxi fare is likely to go up from the minimum Rs 21 to Rs 22.<\/p>\n<p>The hike will come into effect only after the meters of the over 1.05 lakh autos and over 35,000 taxis in the city are re-calibrated.
