The buses were in green color. The rear side of the buses were batched 'Luxuria' (if i am not wrong). Any clues?

Was it "Luxura", by any chance? Luxura is an elusive, premium, rear-engined bus from Ashok Leyland.

A pic could provide a lot more info

Yes, could not manage taking a pciture.
From the quick glance that I had, what stands out to me is the different rear part of the bus. Instead of rear glass, there was a black cover protruding from the top and it had the writings. Could be Luxura.

It's an older design Sutlej body on an Eicher or Swaraj Mazda mini-bus chassis. The ventilation holes on the rim and the 5-bolt arrangement suggest that it's neither AL nor TM. This design is at least 5 years old.

This is an Eicher 10.90. And yes, this is a very old design.

This could be the Swaraj Mazda Isuzu JV bus. Currently there is no rear-engine Light Bus in India.

^^^It is not an ISUZU. The bus in the pic is quite old and ISUZU RE bus was launched only a couple of years back.
