Uber has signed a memorandum of understanding with an Indian government-backed program that aims to make mobility and commerce more accessible across the South Asian nation.

The ride-hailing giant said Thursday that it will explore an integration with ONDC to explore integrations with the network and expand range of its mobility offerings on the Uber app.

“As the Open Network is continuously evolving, MTT (mobility, transport and travel) is certainly a critical sector for us. Different players together on the network foster innovation and newer business models,” said T Koshy, MD and CEO of ONDC, in a statement.

“Today’s MoU is a major step forward and one we hope will enable a diverse range of mobility solutions to benefit every Indian.”
