The denial comes a day after the Centre slapped notices over allegations that Apple users were being charged higher prices for rides of similar distances.

An Indian government body has sent notices to ride-hailing firms Ola and Uber over alleged differential pricing for Android and Apple phones, the country's consumer affairs minister, Pralhad Joshi, said in a post on X on Thursday.

Ola and Uber have denied allegations of differential pricing based on phone models, stating they don't set fares based on a user's phone manufacturer. This comes after the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) sent notices to the companies following reports of varying fares for identical rides depending on whether customers used iPhones or Android devices.

Ola Consumer denies allegations of fare discrepancies based on mobile phone type, asserting uniform pricing for all users. The claims arose after the Central Consumer Protection Authority intervened following media reports of pricing disparities between iPhone and Android users.
