OPPORTUNITY TO 'EARN ADDITIONAL REVENUE' THROUGH ADVERTISEMENTS, COMMERCIAL USE OF SPACE AT DEPOTS, AND OTHER WAYS WAS LOST, SAYS CAG REPORT
NEW DELHI: Delhi transport minister Pankaj Singh on Saturday said that the department is taking a slew of measures to improve the financial health of the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), which suffered losses of more than ₹60,000 crore between 2015 and 2022 according to a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).
Singh told HT that the government is making efforts to increase DTC's non-fare revenue, an issue highlighted by CAG in its report.
"We have identified 300 bus queue shelters where advertisement space can be given. These are visible bus stops mostly at prime locations across parts of central and south Delhi," said Singh.
"We are working out the details so that there is recurrent revenue and maintenance of these bus stops," Singh added.
He added that DTC has been asked to explore bus depot spaces where commercial development or advertisements can be feasible.

Where is everyone?
We've been searching for decades, but haven't found so much as a microbe in space yet. Could it be that we're early; that life simply has not evolved yet in the neighbourhood? Are we doing it all wrong? Is there a bustling universe of sentient beings out there, waiting for us to catch on? Humans are now beginning to build technology that could make the difference in our quest for alien life. We have a growing understanding of what to look for. We're getting better at sending probes to nearby planets, which could tell us more about where and how to search. What might we find? Why does it matter? Take a look

As an editorial in this newspaper put it last week, he is \"arguably the most inventive artist of Indian modernism\". This is why it's not just sad but upsetting that an MF Husain museum will open next month in Doha and not in the country of his birth.
