Taxi services company Pewin Cabs’ decision to set fixed zonal charges has shifted the price war in the industry where rival firms have faced criticism for surging fares depending on the duration taken on a trip.

Pewin Cabs’ Dandia e-hailing application, launched on Friday, has set specific charges between destinations, unlike rivals Uber, Mondo Ride and Taxify that only indicate a price estimate at the beginning of a trip.
