RSRDC

The road transport system is managed by the Government of Rajasthan through a regulatory body known as RSRDC (Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation Ltd.). In February 1979, Rajasthan State Bridge and Construction Corporation Ltd was formed and charged with the responsibility of constructing the buildings, bridges and other construction under the Government of Rajasthan. The regulatory body has been registered through the Companies Act 1956 and many state agencies are associated with it so that the construction work is done smoothly and better services are offered to the people.  Later on 25.9.2000, the board decided to change the name to RAJASTHAN STATE ROAD DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION LTD and handled the responsibility of infrastructure projects, bridges etc all being constructed through the BOT/PPP Model.  It also manages other tenders which come from the Government’s end.
