Tata Motors has secured cumulative orders for more than 5,000 buses and bus chassis from several State Transport Undertakings (STUs) across India, strengthening its position in the country’s mass mobility sector.
The orders were awarded through a competitive e-bidding process under the government procurement system, with deliveries expected to take place in phases based on deployment schedules agreed with the respective transport corporations.
The large order book includes purchases from several major state transport bodies such as Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC), Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC), North Western Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC), Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC), Bihar State Road Transport Corporation (BSRTC), Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC), Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), Haryana Roadways, and Chandigarh Transport Undertaking (CTU).
According to the company, the orders highlight the continued trust placed by public transport authorities in Tata Motors’ commercial passenger vehicle solutions, which have long been used for large-scale mobility operations across India.
A senior executive from Tata Motors’ Commercial Passenger Vehicle business said the orders reflect the confidence of state transport authorities in the company’s mobility platforms designed for reliability, safety and passenger comfort across diverse operating conditions.
The orders cover a wide range of models from the company’s passenger mobility portfolio, including Tata Magna, Tata Cityride, Tata Starbus, Tata Starbus Prime, and chassis variants such as Tata LPO 1618, LPO 1622 and LPO 1822. These buses are designed for intercity, long-distance and urban transport operations, offering durability and efficient operating economics for public transport operators.
Tata Motors has been a long-standing supplier of buses to government transport undertakings, private fleet operators and institutional customers across India. Its commercial passenger vehicle range spans 9-seater to 55-seater buses across multiple powertrain options, supporting large-scale public transportation networks across the country.
With these new orders, Tata Motors aims to further strengthen its role in India’s evolving mass mobility ecosystem, enabling state transport operators to serve millions of daily passengers while modernising public transport infrastructure.
