BENGALURU: The steady rise in diesel prices has resulted in state transport undertakings (STUs) incurring additional expenditure without a commensurate rise in income, a report released by Karnataka Evaluation Authority (KEA) states.
“It is, therefore, essential for the government to compensate transport corporations. The base price of diesel as on the date of fare revision should be fixed and any increase in rates should be compensated by the government,” the report said.
