The idea was simple yet ahead of its time, to start a transport company that would put customer comfort, reliability, and round-the-clock service at the very centre of every journey.
With its roots in pre-independent India, KTC originally known as Karachi Taxi Company boasts a proud legacy spanning three generations and over 80 years. Founded by the visionary Mr. Desraj Singh, the company moved to India after the Partition of 1947 and soon emerged as the country’s pioneer in luxury car rental, chauffeur-driven cars, and luxury coach hire.
From handful cars in the 1940s to one of India’s largest premium ground transportation networks today, KTC has built its name on three unshakeable values — trust, comfort, and 24×7 service. Whether it is airport transfers, corporate mobility, wedding car rentals, VIP delegations, or city-to-city travel, KTC has remained the go-to choice for travellers who refuse to compromise.
Three generations later, the mission still reads the same as it did in 1943: move every passenger with care, every hour of every day.
What began with a handful cars in 1943 has today grown into a global luxury mobility brand. KTC operates company-owned offices across 18 cities in India and has now expanded its international footprint with dedicated offices in UAE and Saudi Arabia — making us one of the few Indian luxury transport companies with on-ground operations in the Middle East.
Beyond our owned offices, KTC delivers premium ground transportation, chauffeur-driven cars, and corporate mobility solutions across the world — including Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, Bhutan, and Nepal. Whether it’s a head-of-state visit in Delhi, an airport transfer in Dubai, a corporate roadshow in Riyadh, or a delegation in Singapore, the same KTC standard travels with you.
Three generations on, the founding promise still holds: comfort, trust, and 24×7 service — wherever the road takes you.
KTC has been the quiet name behind the G20 Summit in India, IPL teams, and Multiple National Tourism Awards. The same fleet. The same chauffeurs. Now available for your next journey.
At KTC, since inception, we have carried some core values with it. These values define KTC and the way we operate every day:
