Ashish Mishra, a journalist with Lallantop, shared a video on X where the two friends discussed the outrageous amount invoiced for a routine commute by Uber India.
In a surprising turn of events, a journalist in Noida named Deepak Tenguriya received a bill worth Rs 7.66 crore after booking an auto ride for just Rs 62 using the Uber app. This unexpected incident occurred during the early hours of Friday, leaving both Deepak and his friend puzzled.
Deepak’s friend, Ashish Mishra, a journalist with Lallantop, shared a video on X where the two friends discussed the outrageous amount invoiced for a routine commute. Upon displaying his phone screen, it became clear that Deepak had been charged a staggering Rs 1,67,74,647 as the “Trip fare”, along with Rs 5,99,09189 for waiting time. A promotional discount of Rs 75 was applied, reducing the total amount slightly.
“Early in the morning @Uber_India made @TenguriyaDeepak so rich that he is thinking of taking Uber franchise next. The good thing is that the trip has not been canceled yet. Become a crorepati instantly by booking an auto for Rs 62,” reads the caption.

सुबह-सुबह @Uber_India ने @TenguriyaDeepak को इतना अमीर बना दिया कि Uber की फ्रैंचाइजी लेने की सोच रहा है अगला. मस्त बात है कि अभी ट्रिप कैंसल भी नहीं हुई है. 62 रुपये में ऑटो बुक करके तुरंत बनें करोडपति कर्ज़दार. pic.twitter.com/UgbHVcg60t

Users reacted humorously to the situation, making jokes about the unlikely scenario of having to pay such a high fee for an auto ride. Some suggested that the auto driver would insist on collecting the full amount, regardless of its absurdity. Many pointed out that the budget for Chandrayaan was also probably less than the bill.
