DTC sees spike in earnings, clocks Rs 93 crore in average monthly income for April-October period

According to the corporation, the improvement reflects the Delhi government’s push to strengthen public transport and ensure efficient utilisation of public funds under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. The corporation stated that it is on a steady path toward restoring its “past glory” through enhanced revenue generation and transparent financial practices.

Between April and October 2025, DTC registered Rs 220.33 crore in ticket income. The Pink Ticket subsidy, part of the government’s free bus travel scheme for women, continued to be a major component of the corporation’s receipts, bringing in Rs 235.56 crore in the same period. Officials said the scheme has contributed to women’s safety, mobility, and access to employment and education.

Special hire services added another Rs 63.40 crore to DTC’s earnings, while the sale of passes generated Rs 36.38 crore.

Miscellaneous income, including sale of scrap, interest earned, advertisement fees, rent and penalties, also grew to Rs 102.04 crore. Overall, DTC reported total receipts of Rs 658 crore for the first seven months of the fiscal year.

Transport Minister Dr Pankaj Kumar Singh said the financial upswing reflects sustained efforts to modernise and stabilise Delhi’s public transport network. “These figures show the positive impact of our continuous efforts to strengthen public transport in Delhi,” he said. “DTC’s improved income and transparent operations underline our commitment to providing safe, reliable, and affordable transport for every citizen.”
With revenues climbing and cost-efficiency measures underway, officials said the corporation aims to continue improving commuter experience, expanding last-mile connectivity, and managing public resources responsibly to benefit millions of daily riders.
