KSRTC Digitalisation and Infrastructure Projects

completed

The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has become the first transport corporation in India to achieve complete digitalisation. The projects launched include the Integrated Command and Control Centre, an AI-based scheduling system, the Pilgrimage Tourism Project, the Rolling Ads advertising module, the Vehicle Emission Testing Centre, the Happy Long Life Free Travel Card, gift boxes for children on long-distance buses, and free cancer screening for women employees. KSRTC has integrated all its systems into a single AI-driven digital dashboard consolidating operations such as accounting, courier management, spare parts procurement, reordering, distribution, budget tourism, and estate rent collection. The software was developed specifically for KSRTC with support from the Digital University and Kerala Startup Mission. The Pilgrimage Tourism Project will connect major pilgrimage centres across Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Vehicle emission-testing centres are being opened to the public, with the first operational at Vikas Bhavan, Thiruvananthapuram. KSRTC has also procured Volvo sleeper buses, the first transport corporation in India to do so. Additional services include gift boxes for children, planned light meal services on long routes, and bus cleaning operations by Kudumbashree units. A free cancer screening programme for women employees will be launched, with plans to fund cancer treatment through CSR contributions.
