Farewell to Mumbai's Beloved Kaali Peelis - The Iconic Taxis Take Their Final Ride!
The last trip for the famous Kaali Peeli taxis, a symbol of Mumbai's bustling streets and a heartbreaking occasion that signifies the end of an era. The Maharashtra government has demanded that these recognisable cabs be removed from Mumbai's roadways. The cherished black taxis with yellow tops, which have been an essential feature of the city's culture for many years, are about to cease their operations after providing years of service to the residents of this utopian city.
History of Kaali-Peelis.
For those who do not know, the Fiat 1100 Delight sedan's surge in popularity coincided with the emergence of these cabs, which came to be known as "Kaali Peeli Taxis." After that, they changed into the Premier President, and in 1974, they became the recognisable Padmini.These cars developed into much more than just means of mobility over time. They were essential to many people's means of subsistence. These were supplied at discounted rates by the Walchand Hirachand family, who controlled Premier Automobiles Ltd., and ended up serving as a source of revenue for those who moved to Mumbai in quest of work.
Premier Automobiles responded to the country's skyrocketing petrol prices later in the life of these taxis by introducing the first Padmini cabs with diesel engines. Despite the production stoppage in 2001, these less expensive taxis served the city until the 2020s. But now, at last, after many years of operation, these taxis will be phased out and perhaps never seen again on Mumbai's streets.
Reason to remove Kaali-Peelis
Mumbai residents will really miss the Kaali Peelis, which was once a constant on the road and was modelled after the famous Indo-Italian Premier Padmini car. The Maharashtra government claims that the decision to retire these cabs was made because of their advanced age. According to a recent statement from a Maharashtra government official, these living legends of Mumbai's streets would no longer be allowed to drive because the state forbids cars older than 20 years from being on the road as of today, October 30.
Are the Mumbaikars happy with the government decision.?
Many Mumbaikars view this as a twin blow to the city's cultural legacy. This is due to the fact that the government recently phased out the city's recognisable double-decker buses, which had been a sight for fifteen years. The decision by the Maharashtra government to cease these cabs, which were beloved by Mumbaikars, has infuriated a great deal of people in India's financial hub.
