The Government of Bombay decided in 1948 to nationalise the passenger transport in the State by setting up a statutory public corporation known as the "Bombay State Road Transport Corporation (B. S. R. T. C). A law to this effect—Road Transport Corporation Act XXXII—was passed in 1948 instituting a statutory corporation in 1949 which was later reconstituted under the provisions of the Road Transport Corporation Act LXVI of 1950.

Nationalization of transport services in Khandesh was started in 1952 and a separate division was formed with headquarters at Dhulia. The Khandesh Division comprises Jalgaon and Dhulia districts.
