Ahead of assembly polls, MSRTC withdraws passenger fare hike move for Diwali season

The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) cancelled the planned 10% fare hike for the Diwali season, providing relief to passengers. This decision, aligned with Chief Minister Eknath Shindes toll exemption for Mumbai, challenges MSRTC financially as it now faces a Rs 40 crore bonus payout and other dues to settle.
