In a significant boost to Telangana’s public transport sector, the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) has reported a financial surplus of ₹1,059 crore, marking its first major turnaround after more than a decade of persistent losses. The achievement reflects the corporation’s sustained efforts to improve operational efficiency while meeting the growing demand for affordable public transportation across the state.
According to TGSRTC officials, the improved financial performance was driven by increased passenger occupancy, disciplined expenditure management, higher non-ticket revenue, and reforms aimed at streamlining daily operations. The corporation has also benefited from the expansion of bus services, improved fleet utilisation, and the growing preference for public transport, particularly in Hyderabad and other urban centres. These measures have strengthened the organisation’s financial position while ensuring uninterrupted services for millions of daily commuters.
The surplus is expected to provide TGSRTC with greater capacity to modernise its fleet, introduce more environmentally friendly buses, enhance passenger amenities, and strengthen connectivity in rural and urban areas. Transport experts have described the development as an encouraging milestone, highlighting that financially sustainable public transport is essential for reducing traffic congestion, lowering emissions, and supporting Telangana’s long-term economic growth. The achievement also reinforces public confidence in one of the state’s most vital transport networks.
