Pune: PMPML Records Highest-Ever Non-Festival Daily Revenue of Rs 2.51 Crore

Pune, 19th August 2026: The Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd (PMPML) recorded its highest-ever daily revenue on a non-festival day, collecting Rs 2.51 crore on August 17, 2026, without any festival or auto-rickshaw strike affecting public transport, officials said.

The transport undertaking collected Rs 2,51,15,064 on the day, making it the highest daily revenue recorded by PMPML on a regular working day.

Ticket sales contributed the largest share at Rs 1.59 crore, while bus passes generated Rs 57.02 lakh. Mobile app bookings contributed Rs 33.50 lakh and Pune Darshan and tourism bus services brought in Rs 1.45 lakh.

PMPML operated 1,767 buses across both shifts on the day. Of these, 524 were from its own fleet of 653 buses, while 1,243 were hired buses out of a total contracted fleet of 1,388.

PMPML’s all-time highest single-day revenue remains Rs 2.61 crore, recorded during Raksha Bandhan in 2025. However, August 17 marked the first time the transport body crossed the Rs 2.5-crore mark on an ordinary day without a festival or transport strike.

Earlier, PMPML had recorded daily revenues of Rs 2.04 crore during the 2022 auto-rickshaw strike and Rs 2.06 crore after Diwali in 2023.

PMPML chairman and managing director Mahesh Awhad attributed the latest performance to planned management, better time management, disciplined operations and coordinated efforts by employees.

Awhad said the organisation was focused on making better use of available resources to reduce losses and increase revenue. He also appreciated the contribution of officers and employees and said efforts would be made to further improve the performance.
