The Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) is the state owned road transport operator in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
Origin
Himachal was formed as a "C" class State by merger of 33 hilly States of North-Western Himalayas on 15th April, 1948. At the time, there were a few private transport operators and private single bus operators operating buses in Himachal (at that time part of the state of Punjab). Consequent to nationalization, Himachal Govt. Transport came into existence on 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 named "Mandi Kullu Road Transport Corporation". The corporation was created to operate on the joint routes in the States of Punjab and Himachal. With the re-organization of Punjab State in 1966 certain 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 continued to function as such till 1st October 1974. On the 2nd of October, 1974, Himachal Government Transport was merged with Mandi Kullu Road Transport Corporation and was renamed as Himachal Road Transport Corporation under the Road Transport Corporation Act. 1950.
The Corporation runs services between various towns and cities in Himachal Pradesh as well as with cities outside Himachal. It offers online booking for its air conditioned Volvo buses between important destinations.
