Green SM, the electric mobility company backed by Vietnam’s Vingroup, has announced plans to expand its electric taxi services to Bengaluru and Chennai. The company is preparing to enter two more Indian states as part of its expansion strategy. Green SM’s latest move will bring more electric vehicles onto Indian roads and create thousands of earning opportunities for local drivers.
In a press release, Green SM confirmed that it has obtained aggregator licences in Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka under the applicable state frameworks. The company is already operational across the Delhi-NCR region and in Hyderabad. It is now preparing to launch services in Bengaluru and Chennai.
While the company has not announced specific launch dates for either city, it says it is strengthening its operational capabilities and working with local authorities and partners ahead of the rollout.
One of the key clarifications in the announcement concerns reports claiming that Green SM charges customers just Rs. 8 per kilometre for its electric taxi services. The company has categorically rejected these reports, calling them inaccurate and unfounded.
Green SM says it will comply with all applicable state and local transport regulations, including government-notified fare requirements in every market where it operates. This means its pricing will be governed by the relevant local regulations rather than a single nationwide fare structure.
The company has also clarified how customers can check fares before booking. Fare information is available through its official website and communication channels. Its mobile application displays the fare for each trip before customers confirm their bookings.
This allows passengers to know the applicable fare in advance rather than relying on the widely circulated Rs. 8 per kilometre figure, which obviously is not a standard fare.
Green SM’s expansion is not limited to adding new cities. The company also plans to create thousands of local earning opportunities, including for existing taxi drivers who want to join its electric mobility network.
It says it will offer competitive earning opportunities, professional training and welfare support to driver partners. The company also aims to help drivers build more stable livelihoods as its operations grow.
Green SM India CEO Rohit Sharma said the company wants to provide safe and comfortable journeys while maintaining consistent service standards. He added that combining quality service with environmentally friendly vehicles could encourage greener travel habits in major Indian cities.
Green SM’s Indian operations began in Delhi-NCR in June 2026. The company says thousands of VinFast Limo Green electric vehicles are currently serving customers in the region.
In just five months, Green SM says that it has completed more than 1.5 million rides in India. It is also expanding dedicated airport pickup areas to improve connectivity for residents and visitors.
The planned entry into Bengaluru and Chennai will give the company access to two major metropolitan markets with significant taxi demand. Both cities also have growing electric vehicle ecosystems. However, Green SM has not yet disclosed the number of vehicles it plans to deploy in either city, its launch timeline or the fares it intends to charge.
