Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has described the Congress government’s recent decision as a revolutionary step in the history of Telangana’s Road Transport Corporation (RTC). Speaking at a public celebration event on NTR Marg in Hyderabad, Revanth Reddy acknowledged the crucial role played by 43,000 RTC workers during the Telangana movement. He emphasized that under the current leadership, the RTC, which was mired in losses under KCR’s administration, has been transformed into a profitable entity.
As part of the ongoing public governance victory celebrations, Revanth Reddy unveiled the new RTC logo, symbolizing a new chapter for the organization. He criticized KCR’s governance, stating that while the formation of Telangana was expected to steer the RTC toward profitability, it instead faced continued financial struggles.

“Under KCR’s rule, the aspirations of the people were left unmet, leading to protests. However, our people’s government is now implementing programs that are improving the lives of RTC workers. We have provided free travel for girls on RTC buses and are focused on guiding the RTC toward development,” said Revanth Reddy.
Revanth Reddy also highlighted the government’s financial contributions, with Rs. 4,000 crore allocated to the RTC. He revealed that over 115 crore passengers have benefited from the free travel initiative.
Looking ahead, the Chief Minister outlined plans for the future, including relocating diesel-powered buses and autos to the outskirts of Hyderabad. He also promised the introduction of 3,000 electric buses in the next two years and steps to make electric autos operational in the state.
