The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) marked a significant milestone in its journey by venturing into the logistics business. Minister for Transport Ramalinga Reddy inaugurated the initiative under the brand name “Namma Cargo,” introducing cargo services on KSRTC route buses. The launch event saw the deployment of 20 cargo trucks to kickstart the ‘Namma Cargo’ services in various districts across the state.
KSRTC has strategically partnered with KMS Coach Builders Private Limited, securing cargo trucks on a rental basis for an initial period of two months. This collaboration reflects the corporation’s commitment to efficiently utilizing resources for the successful implementation of the logistics service.
In another significant move, KSRTC has entered into an agreement with S.M. Kannappa Automobiles Private Limited, further diversifying its fleet resources for cargo transportation. This partnership is slated to last for a month, showcasing KSRTC’s agility in establishing collaborative ties to enhance its logistics capabilities.
Minister Reddy announced ambitious plans for the ‘Namma Cargo’ services, with a goal to induct 100 trucks within the first month of operation. This reflects the commitment of KSRTC to swiftly expand its logistics fleet and cater to the growing demand for cargo transportation services.
Looking ahead, KSRTC aims to escalate the number of cargo trucks to 500 within a year. This long-term vision underscores the corporation’s dedication to establishing itself as a key player in the logistics sector, providing reliable and efficient services across the state.
To streamline the operation and maintenance of the cargo trucks, KSRTC has designated the Basaveshwara bus station at Peenya in Bengaluru city as the primary depot. This strategic location is expected to facilitate seamless logistics operations and contribute to the overall success of the ‘Namma Cargo’ services.
The ‘Namma Cargo’ trucks are equipped with GPS technology, ensuring secure and efficient goods transportation. This advanced tracking facility not only enhances the safety of transported goods but also enables real-time monitoring, contributing to the overall reliability of KSRTC’s cargo services.
