Tata to supply 4,000 buses to state transport authorities

Tata Motors, India's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, has received an order to supply more than four thousand buses from state transport authorities. This order is a part of the second phase of the union government's national urban renewal mission.

The company has already started deliveries of these vehicles. The deliveries will flow into the next fiscal as well. Tata Motors is also finalising an order for thirty hybrid buses, placed by the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC). The company's step to supply hybrid buses will be a first in the country.

Tata Motors' commercial vehicle sales have been pulled down by slow economic growth. These orders, which have been placed over the last six months, should help the company in scripting a turnaround.
