Madhya Pradesh to Launch Sugam Transport Service with 351 Buses Across Seven Cities
The public-private service begins with 351 buses and aims to expand to 15,000 buses by 2031, officials said.
- On Friday, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari will flag off the Mukhyamantri Sugam Parivahan Sewa at BHEL Dussehra Ground in Bhopal, launching 351 buses across seven cities.
- This initiative marks a significant shift for Madhya Pradesh, where organized government-backed road transport effectively disappeared after the Madhya Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation ceased operations over two decades ago.
- Indore receives the largest allocation of 145 buses, while Bhopal gets 106 and Jabalpur receives 67, with the initial fleet comprising 120 intercity and 231 intracity units.
- The Sugam Parivahan Sewa will operate under a public-private partnership framework rather than a conventional state-run corporation, with officials offering operators revenue opportunities through advertising and cargo services.
- Government officials target 15,000 buses by 2031, aiming to connect 75% of the state's gram panchayats, while scaling operations to about 1,500 buses in the initial phase.
