MSRTC to Save ₹11.8 Crore Annually Through Diesel Discount
Imagine a bus company, MSRTC, getting a discount on diesel.
The companies that sell the diesel, like IOC and BPCL, agreed to give a discount of 30 paise per litre.
This happened because the Transport Minister asked them to.
This discount will save the bus company about ₹11.8 crore every year.
The bus company is also planning to get more buses in the future.
The company wants to save money to improve its financial situation.
IOC and BPCL increased the diesel discount for MSRTC by 30 paise per litre.
The discount increase will save MSRTC approximately ₹11.8 crore annually.
Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik persuaded the companies to increase the discount.
MSRTC buys nearly 10.77 lakh litres of diesel daily across its 251 depots.
The move is expected to save MSRTC around ₹12 crore a year.
