The regulation of the taxi industry, including issues pertaining to vehicle age limit, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the Public Transport Regulation Act, 2009.

I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
