MSRTC Faces Widening Losses Despite New Buses and Fare Hikes

MSRTC Faces Widening Losses Despite New Buses and Fare Hikes

The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) is losing more money even after adding new buses and increasing fares.

In June 2026, they lost ₹91.18 crore, which is more than last year's ₹56.85 crore.

They also had to give discounts worth ₹431.12 crore to some passengers.

Even though they added 5,300 new buses, they are not getting more passengers or money.

Some people think the officials in charge should be held responsible for not making enough money.
