According to sources, the corporation stressed that such integration is critical for increasing public transport usage statewide.
TGSRTC also proposed a phased electrification roadmap covering both inter-city and rural operations. It recommended transitioning 30% of its fleet to electric by 2035 and achieving full electrification by 2045. To support this shift, the corporation has sought government identification of land for 16 new electric bus depots within the Outer Ring Road and 16 intermediate charging stations across high-demand traffic nodes in Hyderabad and neighbouring areas.
It suggested creating charging hubs at major depots, including Warangal, Khammam and Nizamabad, in district headquarters and developing highway charging infrastructure.
TGSRTC also recommended piloting hydrogen fuel cells and biofuels for long-distance routes.
In addition to mobility, TGSRTC made recommendations in the logistics sector. It suggested launching a “Cargo-on-Bus” model to use spare cargo space in buses for transporting small parcels, agricultural produce and e-commerce shipments.
Further, TGSRTC recommended leveraging its existing workshops and depots for workforce development, proposing the establishment of Driver Training Academies for electric vehicles and technical training facilities for EV maintenance and fleet management. As part of its infrastructure proposals, the corporation asked for land allocation to develop eight new intercity bus terminals at locations such as Bata Singaram, Ibrahimpatnam, Shamshabad, Medchal and Shamirpet.
