History

In 2020, the Nashik Municipal Corporation submitted a feasibility report to the Government of Maharashtra, for the privatisation of bus services in Nashik, as existing services being operated by the state-run Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC)[6] were found to be loss-making and insufficient for the needs of the city.
