The '''Indian Tramway Company''' (ITC) was formed in 1862 to build short lines around Madras, with a 20-year subsidy from the Government of India but no guarantee.
== Characteristics ==
The ITC suffered losses and in 1870 went into liquidation. The lines were taken over by the [[Carnatic Railway]] Company, a new company formed for the purpose.
== Records ==
Unfortunately, there are no ITC staff records held in the [[India Office Records]] at the [[British Library]].
