“In the year, even the Axle Load Control Regime has alone contributed to the rising revenues: fines shot up by 133% to Rs 4.26 billion.” Other than this, about 1.6 million commuters got help from the hands of NHMP staff during this period which reflected their commitment to the services.
In the Cashless and E-ticketing initiatives, NHMP has resorted to modernization to improve efficiency in its operations. The Drivers Licensing Authority has continued to issue licenses in accordance with global standards, and since 2014, more than 144,000 of such have already been issued.
