Tata Motors has commenced deliveries for an additional 148 advanced Tata Starbus electric buses to the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC). This latest deployment builds on the successful operations of 921 electric buses in the city, further strengthening Bengaluru’s commitment to sustainable urban mobility. The fleet will be operated and maintained by TML Smart City Mobility Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Motors, under a 12-year contract. 

The Tata Starbus EV is engineered for intensive intra-city operations and offers best-in-class comfort, safety and high uptime. The advance electric bus comes equipped with new-gen electric powertrain, Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Brake Distribution and an Integrated Transport System. With a low-floor design, ergonomic seating for 35 passengers, it ensures a smooth, convenient ride. With zero tailpipe emissions, the Starbus EVs have significantly contributed to cleaner air in Bengaluru. As Bengaluru expands its green fleet, Tata Motors and BMTC continue to demonstrate how public transport can be both future-ready and citizen-first.

Tata Motors is India’s largest automobile company. Through subsidiaries and associate companies, Tata Motors has operations in the UK, South Korea, Thailand, South Africa and Indonesia. Among them is Jaguar Land Rover, the business comprising the two iconic British brands.
