Mysuru: The State Government’s ambitious ‘Shakti’ Scheme has given a new lease of life to KSRTC Mysuru Rural Division that was reeling under loss year-on-year. The Division has earned a profit of Rs. 2.3 crore in the last nine months of the current fiscal year-2024-25, with 6.62 crore passengers travelling inKSRTC buses.
KSRTC Mysuru Rural Division was incurring losses in the range of Rs. 4 crore to Rs. 5 crore every year. As the Road Transport Corporation is classified under Service Category, it was inevitable to continue to run the buses, in view of the commuters interest, ignoring the perpetual loss.
