Abstract
Presently, there are 24 depots and 13 sub-depots operating in various districts of Haryana and these play a pivotal role in providing short as well as medium distance passenger portability. The depots of Haryana roadways have relatively few incentives to perform efficiently. This study makes an effort to measure the efficiency of 20 major depots of Haryana roadways for the year of 2017–2018 and also find out the overall and depot level efficiency of Haryana roadways. For the purpose, the data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been applied and fleet size of Haryana roadways, total number of staff in this department and fuel consumption by buses are taken as inputs and bus utilisation taken as output. On the basis of technical efficiencies of the depots, it was found that the performance of depots is not at par with the optimum level. The overall mean technical efficiency is 91 per cent indicating that they can produce the same level of output by reducing 9 per cent inputs. JEL: R40, C67, L32, L91
