Andhra Pradesh Transport Minister Ramprasad Reddy rejected reports about APSRTC privatization. He said the government has no plans to hand over APSRTC to private companies.
The minister called APSRTC privatization rumours false. He said APSRTC will continue as a public transport service under the state government.
He also said the government is improving APSRTC services. It is adding electric buses and upgrading transport facilities across the state. These steps aim to improve service quality, not privatization.
Ramprasad Reddy said people trust APSRTC more after recent welfare schemes, including free bus travel for women.
He added that the government supports APSRTC employees and works to increase revenue. He confirmed that APSRTC will stay under full government control and serve the public.
