Delhi Transport Minister Dr Pankaj Kumar Singh on Friday said that the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) has recorded a financial turnaround, reflecting the impact of sustained reforms and improved operational efficiency, with an increase in its income and as per the latest financial data, it has gone up from Rs 822.53 crore in 2024-25 to Rs 995.55 crore in 2025-26, clocking a growth of Rs 173 crore.
According to Dr Singh, a closer look at revenue streams highlights the scale of this improvement with a ticketed income increased from Rs 327.23 crore to Rs 379.77 crore, registering a growth of Rs 52.54 crore on a year-on-year basis, while earnings from special hire services have risen from Rs 82.65 crore to Rs 99.21 crore, marking an increase of Rs 16.56 crore during the same period.
He said the most significant growth has been recorded under miscellaneous income, which has increased from Rs 342.67 crore to Rs 446.59 crore, reflecting a substantial rise of Rs 103.92 crore.
Notably, this category includes revenue from advertisements, rent receipts, and penalty collections, and has emerged as the key contributor to the corporation’s overall financial improvement.
The corporation has also recorded an increase in average monthly income from Rs 68.54 crore to Rs 82.96 crore, indicating stronger financial discipline and better resource utilization, the minister said.
Highlighting the achievement, the minister stated that this turnaround is the result of the collective effort, commitment, and dedication of the entire DTC family.
He expressed his gratitude to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, noting that such a transformation would not have been possible without her continuous guidance and support.
