Mumbai auto tariff — Feb 2025
We fetch your exact route with real-time Mumbai traffic to get distance in km and estimated journey time — no guesswork.
Google returns free-flow and traffic-adjusted duration. The gap (×0.6) models how long your auto is stationary — which is exactly how meter wait charges accrue.
We apply the exact formula: ₹17.14/km + ₹1.71/min wait + luggage + night surcharge (Feb 2025 rates), rounded just as the meter should.
Meters can legitimately differ by a few rupees due to rounding. We only flag differences beyond ₹5 as potential tampering — no false alarms.
