The Himachal Pradesh Transport Department has achieved over Rs 1,000 crore in revenue for the past fiscal year, marking a 75% increase compared to the previous collection of Rs 1,540 crore. Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri credited this growth to automation reforms, including auto-approval systems for permits and enhanced enforcement through digital technologies.

The department has mobilized Rs 2,740 crore in three years, with Rs 81 crore from fancy number auctions. Recent reforms also allow extended permit validity for commercial vehicles and special registration for vintage cars, simplifying processes for owners.
