Tata Motors has secured cumulative orders for more than 5,000 buses and bus chassis from multiple State Transport Undertakings (STUs) across India, reinforcing its presence in the public transport segment. The orders come from transport corporations in Maharashtra, Gujarat, North Western Karnataka, Telangana, Rajasthan, Bihar and Kerala, as well as the Department of Road Transport (Haryana Roadways) and the Chandigarh Transport Undertaking.

The company said the orders cover a mix of fully built buses and bus chassis designed for different public transport applications. The procurement forms part of ongoing efforts by state transport agencies to expand and upgrade their fleets to meet rising mobility demand.

According to Anand S, Vice President and Head of Commercial Passenger Vehicle Business at Tata Motors, the orders reflect continued demand from public transport operators for the company’s mobility solutions and underline the role of bus-based transit in India’s transport network.

The orders include models from the company’s bus portfolio such as the Cityride, Starbus, Starbus Prime, Magna, and chassis variants including LPO 1618, LPO 1622, and LPO 1822. These vehicles are used across intercity, staff, and city bus operations by state transport bodies.

Tata Motors’ commercial passenger vehicle portfolio is supported by Sampoorna Seva 2.0, a vehicle lifecycle management programme that provides maintenance support, turnaround time assurance, availability of genuine parts and breakdown assistance. The company said its service network includes more than 4,500 sales and service touchpoints across the country.

The orders come as several state transport corporations continue to invest in fleet renewal and capacity expansion to improve public mobility services across urban and intercity routes.
