Industrial Visit is a routine activity for the engineering students during which students
visit companies and get insight regarding the internal working environment of a
company and how a company functions, as well as useful information related to the
practical aspects of the educational course which cannot be visualized in lectures.
Mechanical Engineering Department of Sigma groupof Institute of Technology and
Engineering organized an industrial visit to Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation
(GSRTC) for 5th semester mechanical engineering students.
Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation is a passenger transport organization

providing bus service both within Gujarat and neighboring states. GSRTC Workshop is
managed by GSRTC and it is Asia’s largest bus body building workshop.

the staff at the premises. Students were divided into two groups and they visited
departments like Machine Shop, Engine Shop, Fuel injection department, Body Shop,
Upholstery department, Coach Shop, Paint Shop, Tire shop, Disassembly department,
etc. and obtained the deep knowledge of the production, maintenance and functioning
of the organization.
Students were also explained about the manufacturing and maintenance of various
parts of automobile body undertaken by GSRTC. The visit helped students to get ideas

INTRODUCTION
GSRTCwas first established on 1st May 1960
At present GSRTC have 16 Divisions and 128 Depots in its overall organization
system. Main central office is situated at Ahmedabad. The top management (Board of
Directors) looking after various activities are Government appointee (mostly IAS
officers). It has three tires system consisting of Central Office (01 at Ahmedabad),
Divisions (16 – all over Gujarat) and Depots (126 as on 2008-09). If we talk of Divisional
Level, it has two segments - 1) Traffic Side 2) Mechanical Side.
Each Division has number of Depots functioning under it. All the depots are accountable
to Divisional Head. GSRTC is operating in 3–tier system. In 3-tier system, depot is the
operating unit equipped with a small maintenance workshop. A group of depots
operating in the neighboring areas are working under the Divisional Management
having Divisional workshop for major overhauls and repairs. The divisions come under
the General Manager at the head office. This type of organization is expected to have
the step by step delegation from head office, to Divisional office and to depot.
In 3-tier management system, Divisional Management is recognized as a responsibility

centre. Therefore depot becomes an operating organ of the Division. Complete
delegation is concentrated at the Divisional level so far as operational plan, revenue-
maximization and cost-minimization are concerned. Complete documentation and
accounting system are based on divisional unit as a whole by poled performance of the
depots working under a Division. Division as a whole becomes a profit centre.
Top management is responsible for the strategic planning, policy drafting and making
investment decisions. It also decided on procurement and distribution of resources to
the Divisions. Therefore the responsibility of ‘return on the investment’ lies with the top
management. Hence the organization as a whole becomes an investment centre.
Central Workshop
The Corporation has 3-tired system of maintenance & repairs in vogue to meet with its
entire Maintenance and Repairs requirements viz. Depot Workshop, Divisional
Workshop and Central Workshop. The Corporation has at present 126 Depot
Workshop, 16 Divisional Workshop and 1 Central Workshop which look after all
major/minor mechanical works. Central workshop of GSRTC has very large area and
workshop equipped with adequate machineries and very good facilities for bus body
fabrication, Engine recondition tyre retreading, printing of ticket and stationeries. There
are many shops/ sections/ departments for various functions.
