In 1947, the Government of Madras nationalized the passenger transport for the first
time by introducing 30 buses in Madras City, side by side with the buses run by the
private operators at that time. The operation was under the control of the then
Madras State Transport Department. In 1972, the departmental setup was transformed
into a company setup in order to inoculate a commercial approach without sacrificing
the social responsibilities. Thus, PALLAVAN TRANSPORT CORPORATION LIMITED
was formed under the Companies Act 1956, by the Government of Tamil Nadu on 01.01.1972
with a fleet strength of 1029 buses.
