The group can be seen smiling and enjoying the unusual ride as the auto moves through the streets.
The video was shared on Instagram by the handle @theco.usinscrew, with the location tagged as Vasai.
“Sunroof experience in an auto,” reads the caption accompanying the clip.

While sunroofs and panoramic glass roofs have become increasingly common in modern cars, spotting a similar feature on an auto-rickshaw naturally amused viewers. The transparent roof appears to allow more light into the passenger area while also giving the humble three-wheeler an unexpectedly premium-looking upgrade.
The passengers themselves appear equally amused by the feature, turning what could have been an ordinary auto ride into a memorable experience.
The video has received several reactions from Instagram users, with many jokingly comparing the auto-rickshaw with luxury vehicles.
One person described it as a “premium auto with sunroof”, seemingly impressed by the unconventional modification.
Another user jokingly called the vehicle a “Semi convertible”, referring to the transparent section on the roof.
