What Indian Auto does

This is not only about speed. The road is alive, and how you drive matters — dodge the potholes, yield to the ambulance, wait out the wedding baraat, and slow down for the cow. Your driving style feeds your Karma, which unlocks a completely different way to play.

Six ways to drive

Sawari, the classic endless loop for fares and Chillar. Bhaisaab Mode at 1.22x speed with wrong-side bikers and big near-miss rewards. Sharif Driver, where patience itself is the score. Dabbawala Dash against the clock. Monsoon Mayhem on slick roads. And Tyohaar Mode, which marks real Indian festivals in game.

Karma changes the game

Reckless driving pays, until it doesn't — hitting anything alive in Bhaisaab Mode carries a double Karma penalty, and Sharif Driver rewards exactly the caution the other modes punish.

Twelve autos to unlock

Save your Chillar and unlock 12 autos across four tiers, drawn from real regional auto cultures from the classic Kaali-Peeli to legendary local variants, each with perks like fare bonuses, extra health or quicker handling.

A journey across India

Drive through dynamically changing zones — a quiet Gaon, Chhota Sheher, the Metro, a winding Ghat Road, the Samundar Kinara and a crowded Bazaar — with India Gate, Charminar and the Gateway of India on the horizon.

Twelve languages, in the right voice

Play in the authored Hinglish voice, or switch to Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia or English. Numbers, greetings and regional auto details adapt to your choice.

Three control styles

Swipe, steer or tilt, with finely tuned haptics for lane changes, pothole impacts and Karma rewards.

Plays offline, competes online

Play entirely offline with progress banked safely, and compete on Game Center leaderboards for earnings and lifetime Karma, or beat your own local top ten.

Who it is for

  • Anyone who wants an endless runner that feels like an actual Indian road
  • Players who want a game that rewards careful driving as much as reckless driving
  • Commuters who need something that plays with no signal
  • Anyone who would rather play in Hindi, Tamil, Bengali or Hinglish than in English
