The State government normally spends around Rs 150 crore on two-week-long Assembly session. However, the upcoming session in Nagpur will be of three weeks and the expenses are estimated at Rs 250 crore. The vehicles that are used to transport officials are arranged from different districts of the State.

Keeping in view the workload during the Assembly session, the officials would be needing the taxi service round the clock. And the three-week rental for around 200 taxis is estimated to cost around Rs 2.10 crore.
