Along with that I want to put meter, camera and light on top of car which will signify the car is occupied or not(yellow/red)

I want to start from Delhi NCR and would like to know the legality

I want to know whose permission will be needed so no one can point finger at us and if that can be made exclusive will be an added advantage so no one replicate and eat us

I have been planning this for long and procurement everything is ready , just I want to know if it's feasible as I can't see any reason not to. I live in Noida and cars are either UP15 or UP16
registered.

Dear Client,

Ensure compliance with all regulations governing the operation of commercial vehicles in Delhi NCR. This includes obtaining permits and licenses for operating commercial vehicles and adhering to safety standards. You have to understand the local advertising regulations in Delhi NCR. Depending on the type of advertisements you plan to display on the LED screens, there may be specific guidelines and restrictions you need to follow. Obtain permits and permissions from the relevant authorities in Delhi NCR for operating your car fleet business. This may involve seeking approval from local municipal authorities, transport departments, and other regulatory bodies. Draft comprehensive contracts for your business operations, including agreements with advertisers, drivers and any other stakeholders. These contracts should clearly outline the rights and obligations of each party involved. Ensure that you have the necessary rights to display advertisements on the LED screens, especially if you're using third-party content. Obtain appropriate licenses or permissions to avoid infringing on intellectual property rights. Obtain adequate insurance coverage for your vehicles, passengers, and business operations. This may include liability insurance, vehicle insurance, and any other relevant policies to protect against potential risks and liabilities.
