Green SM plans electric taxi expansion to Bengaluru and Chennai
The electric mobility company has completed over 15 lakh rides in five months across its existing Indian operations.
Green SM plans to expand its all-electric taxi service to Bengaluru and Chennai, according to a report by RushLane. The company currently operates in Hyderabad and Delhi-NCR, where it has completed more than 15 lakh rides since June 2026.
The company has secured an aggregator licence in Karnataka to support its planned rollout in Bengaluru. Green SM India is the Indian subsidiary of Vietnam’s GSM, which was founded by Vingroup chairman Pham Nhat Vuong.
The service uses VinFast Limo Green electric MPVs. In the first half of FY27, the Limo Green was the best-selling VinFast model in India, accounting for 7,192 units or 54.05 per cent of the total 13,307 units sold.
Addressing reports that its taxis charge Rs 8 per kilometre, Green SM stated these claims were inaccurate. The company said its fares would follow local government-notified regulations in each market.
Green SM India CEO Rohit Sharma said the expansion would provide more people with electric taxi options and generate income for local drivers. The company intends to offer professional training and welfare support to participating drivers.
While the company is working with local authorities for the expansion, it has not provided a launch date for Bengaluru or Chennai, nor has it confirmed a Tamil Nadu aggregator licence.
