₹2,603 crore Revenue loss due to Pandemic; APSRTC addresses! 

Many fields were faced the revenue loss due to the lockdown situation in 2020. APSRTC is not the exception to this too. 

On Wednesday, during the press meeting, the corporation’s Vice-Chairman and Managing Director M.T. Krishna Babu said, ''We were at the forefront of assisting the state government in COVID-19 management activities. We have converted 52 of our AC buses into mobile testing centers for COVID-19 while we also transported 3.07 lakh migrant workers and stranded persons in 11,802 buses.  

Like all others, we too were the worst hit by the COVID-19-induced crisis, but now we are slowly coming back to our feet. We expect things to turn normal by the end of March next.  

We have also identified eight sites across the state where commercial development activity will be taken up with private parties on a build-operate-transfer basis. We will also open 10 petrol stations along with oil companies at various places. 

He said that this issue was taken to the Telangana Government seeking for a solution, then only their inter-state operations can be increased.
