Tata Motors has started delivering 148 new electric buses to the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC). These electric buses will improve public transport in the city and support cleaner travel.
This new delivery adds to the 921 Tata electric buses already running in Bengaluru. With these additions, BMTC continues to expand its electric fleet to cover more areas. These buses are operated by TML Smart City Mobility Solutions Ltd., a Tata Motors company. The company has a 12-year contract to run and maintain the buses.
Karnataka’s Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy and BMTC Managing Director Ramachandran R. flagged off the buses. Other senior government and BMTC officials also joined the event.
The Tata Starbus EVs are designed especially for city travel. They have a low-floor design and seating for 35 people. In addition, they come with advanced safety systems like Electronic Stability Control and Electronic Brake Distribution. These fully electric buses produce no smoke, making city air cleaner and safer.
Ramachandran R. shared that Tata’s existing electric buses have delivered reliable service and have made passengers happy. He said the new buses will help BMTC reach more places in Bengaluru.
Anand S., Vice President at Tata Motors, said the earlier buses have already covered more than six crore kilometres. He added that Tata Motors will continue to support BMTC and help grow sustainable public transport in the city.
Tata Motors, part of the large Tata Group, continues to lead in electric vehicles and supports India’s shift toward clean and green mobility.
