History

  • Soon after Independence in the year 1947 the trucks and buses owned by operators like N.D. Radhakrishnan, allied Chirag din & sons and Nanda bus service got held up on the other side of the border with the result transport services and movement of essential commodities collapsed abruptly as the private transporters were reluctant to come forward for transportation of food grains and shifting of refugees which created crises like situation. In order to defuse the crisis as an alternative the Government established Government Transport Undertaking (GTU) on 5th of January, 1948 with a fleet of 50 trucks which were purchased from M/S General Motor Corporation Bombay.
