Uber Black provides an array of features, such as higher end vehicles, highly rated drivers, an enhanced in-app experience, and seamless on-demand transportation, said the statement.

With Uber Black, riders can enjoy personalised rides, featuring in-car amenities and options like quiet mode, temperature control, and luggage assistance, tailored to their preferences during the trip, it added.

Singh highlighted that Uber endeavours to cater to the full spectrum of riders, including those seeking affordable rides on two or three wheels and those who desire a truly well-appointed experience in premium vehicles.

Earlier this year, Uber and app-based shuttle service Aaveg got approval from the Delhi government to operate premium buses in the city.
