DTC Plans To Come Up With Commercial Complexes

The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC)
plans to develop commercial complexes like
luxury hotels and restaurants at its inter-state bus 
terminals across the city. 

The transport department of the city government
has already sent a proposal to the Union Urban 
Development ministry seeking its permission to
use DTC bus terminals for commercial purposes.

“We have sought permission from the Central
Government to allow construction of commercial
complexes in the premises of DTC bus terminals,”
Delhi transport minister, Mr. Arvinder Singh Lovely said.
“The DTC has been incurring loss of nearly Rs560 crore annually.

So, we must find ways to improve the finances of the corporation,” he added.
According to the latest audit report, DTC’s accumulated
loss stood at over Rs 6,500 crore in March 2009.
