Green SM Launches 1,000 VinFast Electric Taxis in DelhiNCR

The rollout links VinFast’s Tamil Nadu production to a company‑owned taxi fleet aimed at airport and corporate customers.

Overview

  • Green SM began commercial service on Friday, June 5, with officials flagging off a 1,000‑vehicle VinFast Limo Green fleet, a mobile app and short‑term promotional fares for app bookings.
  • The company owns the cars and directly employs drivers under trained 'Green Driver' programmes with an initial salary guarantee reported for the first months of operation.
  • Each seven‑seat VinFast Limo Green uses a 60.13 kWh battery with a claimed range of about 517 km and fast‑charge capability, and every vehicle carries the firm's Secure‑to‑Safe system of interior/exterior cameras, AI monitoring and SOS buttons.
  • Green SM has publicly set a target to scale to roughly 10,000 vehicles in DelhiNCR within a year and expects about one‑third of rides from airports and roughly 18–20% from corporate clients while leveraging local manufacturing capacity.
  • The launch fills the electric‑taxi gap left after BluSmart's collapse, positions Green SM as a direct rival to Ola and Uber, and could speed fleet electrification in Delhi while changing driver employment and vehicle procurement patterns.
