The Pune Regional Transport Office (RTO) has shared exciting news about a big increase in driving licenses during the year 2024-25. The number of permanent licenses went up to 156,638, which is 17.8% more than the 132,944 licenses given out last year. This shows that more people in Pune are following the rules of transportation and learning about road safety.
The most amazing growth was in learning licenses. The RTO received 307,334 applications for learning licenses this year, compared to 277,904 last year. This is a 10.6% rise, which shows that many young people in Pune want to learn how to drive. More people are getting proper driver education, which helps make the roads safer.
International driving licenses also saw a small increase. The RTO issued 5,266 international permits this year, just a little more than the 5,210 given last year. This means more people want to drive in other countries, possibly for work or travel.
The RTO has made things easier for people applying for licenses. They’ve improved their digital systems, which helps speed up the process. This means people can get their licenses faster and easier, while still following the rules.
This growth in licenses shows that Pune’s transportation system is getting better. More people are wanting to get the right licenses and follow the laws. This is helping to create a safer driving environment in the city.
These changes match the city’s goals to improve transportation and encourage safe driving. The rise in licenses is a sign of progress towards a more organized and responsible driving culture in Pune.
