What happened
The official Transport Department page states vehicular transportation was introduced in 1944 as Sikkim State Transport and subsequently renamed the Sikkim Nationalised Transport Department in 1955, and that the Motor Vehicle Division is a constituent part of the Transport Department (source: sikkim.gov.in transport department page).
The same official page gives the address as Yatayath Bhavan, Below Manan Bhawan, Gangtok, Sikkim 737101 (source: sikkim.gov.in transport department page).
SNT is directly administered by the Sikkim government and headquartered at Yatayat Bhavan in Gangtok, unlike other states' transports, and operates four depots total (three in Sikkim: Gangtok, Rangpo, Jorethang; one in Siliguri, West Bengal) for passengers, fuel and goods (source: Sikkim Nationalised Transport page, cross-checked 2026-09-24).
Sikkim Nationalised Transport runs bus and truck services, and Gangtok is the state capital in Gangtok district (sources: Sikkim and Transport in Sikkim pages; Gangtok district page).
What we could not confirm
No dated 2025 or 2026 SNT results, fare/order decision, CAG finding or fleet-induction item was locatable in accessible official sources, so the verification date 2026-09-24 is used; revenue, profit, employee count and shareholding left null. Exact day/month of the 1955 renaming not verified. No opinion on sale or closure.
