According to a latest report from Financial Times, Uber is planning to invest a whopping $1 billion in India with an aim to up its ridership to as much as 1 million per day. The start-up is currently estimated to provide around 200,000 daily rides in the country.

The report comes just a few weeks after a court in India revoked a government ban imposed on the online taxi firm that restricted it to operate in the country's capital of New Delhi.
