  1. A Profit of 100 million in 6 months is on average a profit of Rs. 0.55 Million/Day (5.5 Lac). How is it “morally” possible? Is it a For-People company or a For-Govt company? It’s a public sector company and its primary target is providing affordable transportation, not making millions in profits! Saying we made 100 million in profits in six months especially when it is a public sector company is not any different that saying “we took 100 million off the poor people and put them into the accounts of the government”. Is there no concern regarding NATCO’s super high ticket prices when its supposed to provide cheaper transport?
