INTRODUCTION
Himachal Road transport came into existence as a Govt. Transport in July, 1949 and
continued to function as such till 1st October, 1974. During the year 1958, a Corporation was floated
jointly by the Govt. of Punjab, Himachal and Railways under the Road Transport Corporation Act, 1950
with a name and style as “ Mandi-Kullu road Transport Corporation” basically to operate on the joint
routes in the States of Punjab and Himachal. With the re-organization of Punjab State in 1966, few hilly
areas of Punjab were merged in Himachal and operational areas of Mandi-Kullu Road Transport
Corporation came entirely in the expanded State of Himachal. This Corporation also continued to
function as such till 01.10.1974. On 02.10.1974, Himachal govt. Transport was merged with MandiKullu Road Transport Corporation and was renamed as Himachal Road Transport Corporation under
the Road Transport Corporation Act, 1950. Since then it is functioning as such.
After the formation of Himachal on 15th July, 1948 the network of roads had received topmost priority of the Government as there were very limited roads in the State at that time. On the
formation of present Corporation on 02.10.1974, the total routes operated by HRTC were 379 which
have grown to 2176 routes in 2010-2011 and the fleet strength has grown from 673 to 1921 in 20102011. As the road length increased and basic infrastructure for development also kept pace with it, this
had direct relation on the growth of the HRTC. The strength of buses in 1974-75 was 673 and total
sanctioned posts were 4967, which has now increased to 1921 and sanctioned posts have increased
to 10730.
