Tata Motors has begun delivering 148 advanced Starbus electric buses to Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), expanding the city’s e-bus fleet to over 1,000 units.
Tata Helps to Strengthen Bengaluru’s Green Mobility
Operated and maintained by TML Smart City Mobility Solutions Ltd under a 12-year contract, the new buses support Bengaluru’s drive toward sustainable public transport.
Flagged off by Karnataka’s Transport Minister Shri Ramalinga Reddy and BMTC Managing Director Shri Ramachandran R., the latest additions build on the strong performance of Tata’s existing EV fleet in the city.
“Tata’s electric buses have delivered high uptime and strong public feedback,” said Shri Ramachandran R. “This new fleet will help us expand clean, safe, and efficient transport across Bengaluru.”
Anand S, Vice President of Tata Motors, added, “We’re proud to support BMTC’s e-mobility goals with timely delivery and reliable performance, having clocked over 60 million km across our fleet.”
The low-floor Tata Starbus EVs are designed for urban use, offering 35 ergonomic seats, zero tailpipe emissions, and safety features like Electronic Stability Control and EBD. As Bengaluru’s green fleet grows, Tata Motors continues to lead the way in future-ready, citizen-focused mobility.
