Need Clarification On Motor Transport Workers Act

Dear All,
Is Motor Trasport Act is applicable to all Factories where in 5 or more drivers were enaged on internal transport of goods vehicles and staff transport vehicles?
If so, when all the employees are covered with all the Labour Laws and Factorie Act and getting all the benefits out of all statutories like other employees is it necessary to implement?
If it is to be implemented for registration under this act what is the fee to be paid?
Who will be the stautory authority under State Government?
Pl. clarify urgently.
Regards,
