MSRTC Finalizes Partnerships With PSUs to Launch Public Fuel Stations

Structured under central-state revenue-sharing agreements, the initiative will roll out integrated Petro-Motel Hubs in phases pending final implementation plans.

Overview

  • MSRTC will partner with Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum to convert its 251 bus-only fuel stations into retail outlets and open new sites for public use.
  • The central-state agreements will ensure transparent revenue sharing between government entities and oil PSUs.
  • Integrated Petro-Motel Hubs will combine fuel sales with retail amenities to create multiple income streams and enhance traveler services.
  • The rollout will proceed in phases once detailed implementation plans are finalized and surveys of MSRTC-owned land parcels are completed.
  • The diversification effort aims to stem chronic losses that reached ₹10,324 crore in FY2023-24 by leveraging over 70 years of fuel procurement expertise.
