I checked open street map API, it's just raw geo data. Either they are using Google maps distance matrix, roads, places API fully (which they are doing looking at the source code) or they are making it in house which is massively complex, expensive and will be inferior to Google maps API

Yeah I am not from tech background can't fully understand it's inner workings. But for now they have only mentioned to charge that nominal fees from drives which we all know. There was one open mobility challenge hosted by Namma Yatri in 2023(I was also part of it) and one of its track was to "Map Cost Improvements" where Harsh Gupta and Sahana Gowda team won you can find them on LinkedIn reachout if they suggested some solution to this or atleast have a better understanding on this topic. You can find Harsh Gupta by just googling "Harsh Gupta Namma Yatri" he has mentioned he had won that hackathon.

Why does India need roads ? Horses are fine without roads. They don’t need oil so it will also save on foreign exchange. There’s lots of grassland where horses can feed. India is making a historic mistake by building roads. It should focus on horses
