There is also a proposal to replace all the inter-state buses. All of them have done more than 10 lakh km and are very old. Very recently PRTC has added 4 Ultra Delux buses of Prakash P8000 Model on the [[Pondicherry (city)|Pondicherry]]–[[Mahé, India|Mahé]] and Pondicherry–[[Nagercoil]] routes. Another 3 Ultra Delux buses are expected to be added to the fleet soon. They also have replaced 30 of their age old inter-city bus fleet with new buses built by TVR Coach on [[Ashok Leyland]] platform and they also have procured 200 electronic ticket vending machines enabled with [[GPS]] and [[GPRS]] as a part of preventing revenue leakage.<ref>{{cite news|author=Staff Reporter|date=2013-01-29|title=Cameras to help PRTC monitor buses|publisher=[[The Hindu]]|location=Puducherry|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/cameras-to-help-prtc-monitor-buses/article4356278.ece}}</ref>
