Ask any Nashik local where to catch a long-distance ST bus and the answer is usually the same: Thakkar Bazar. Officially Nashik’s New Central Bus Stand (New CBS), this terminal in the Thakkar Bazar area is the city’s principal hub for intercity MSRTC services — from hourly district runs to Yeola and Lasalgaon right up to marathon schedules bound for Kolhapur and Ichalkaranji. It works in tandem with the old CBS/Mahamarg complex (which keeps the local pilgrim and village routes) and the Nashik Road stand beside the railway station. This 2026 guide compiles the terminal’s contact details, stand-wise departure charts, amenities and booking information.

Getting to Thakkar Bazar Stand
The terminal lies in central Nashik, around 8–9 km from Nashik Road railway station; city buses, autos and app cabs cover the stretch in 20–30 minutes. If your onward destination is Trimbakeshwar, note that those shuttles leave from the old CBS/Mela side rather than Thakkar Bazar — local connections within the temple town itself are covered on the Trimbakeshwar local bus stand page.
Passenger Facilities
- Computerised reservation counters and an enquiry window on the main concourse
- Waiting hall, drinking water and pay-and-use toilets
- Tea stalls and snack vendors inside the premises
- Auto-rickshaw stand and city bus stops immediately outside
- Cloakroom availability varies — ask at the enquiry counter
Bus Classes Operating from This Terminal
Expect the full MSRTC spread here: Ordinary (Lal Pari) buses on district routes such as Yeola, Lasalgaon and Nandgaon; Semi-Luxury on selected medium-distance runs; Shivshahi AC seaters toward Pune and other long corridors; and Shivai AC/electric services on premium intercity schedules. Fares scale accordingly, roughly from ₹40 for a short ordinary hop to close to ₹1,000 for a Kolhapur AC journey.
Reservations and Fare Concessions
Long-distance seats can be reserved up to 60 days out on MSRTC’s official booking portal or mobile app, or at the counters here between about 5:00 AM and 11:00 PM. Short-haul district buses simply take conductor tickets on board. Under prevailing state schemes, senior citizens travel at deep concessions and women passengers receive the Mahila discount on fares — keep a government photo ID handy for verification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Thakkar Bazar the same as Nashik CBS?
Thakkar Bazar is the New CBS. The old CBS/Mahamarg complex near Dwarka Circle is a separate stand that handles mostly local routes.
Do buses to Mumbai leave from Thakkar Bazar?
Many long-distance services, including Mumbai-bound buses, either originate here or halt here and at Nashik Road; confirm your specific schedule at the enquiry counter.
What is the earliest departure from this stand?
Among listed schedules, the 4:00 AM Hinjewadi service and 4:30 AM Pune AC departures are the earliest — subject to seasonal change.
Can I get a Trimbakeshwar bus here?
The regular Trimbakeshwar shuttle runs from the old CBS side, not Thakkar Bazar. Budget 15–20 minutes to move between stands.
How far is the stand from Nashik Road railway station?
Roughly 8–9 km — about half an hour by city bus or auto in normal traffic.
