MSRTC to Open Fuel Stations for Public in Maharashtra
MSRTC, which runs buses, wants to make more money because they are having financial issues.
They will start selling fuel to everyone at their depots, like gas stations.
They will work with big oil companies like Indian Oil to do this.
These stations will be on land they already own, and they might add small shops too.
This plan aims to help the bus company earn more money.
MSRTC plans to open fuel stations at its depots for public use.
This initiative aims to generate extra revenue for the financially strained transport system.
The retail outlets will be set up in partnership with central public sector firms like Indian Oil.
Fuel stations will be located on MSRTC-owned land, at commercial buildings of 750 square metres.
The plan includes transforming areas into 'petro-motel hubs' with retail and facilities.
