Audit Report 2024-2025: Land Transport: Additional Rs 600 Million Under Pressure

For the fiscal year 2024-2025, an additional budget of Rs 600 million has been allocated to the ministry under the Supplementary Appropriation Act. This amount has primarily been used to fund two major initiatives: the Free Travel Scheme, which received an extra Rs 325 million, and support for the bus transport industry, with an additional Rs 275 million.

However, the audit raises questions about the initial budget planning.
