Tata Motors Secures Order From UP State Road Transport Corp

Tata Motors has secured a contract from the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) to supply 1,000 units of its Tata LPO 1618 diesel bus chassis. This order follows a major competitive e-bidding process carried out under the government’s tendering system, and the deliveries will be executed in phases as per mutually agreed terms between both parties. 

Building on Previous Success

This isn’t the first time UPSRTC has turned to Tata Motors for their transport needs. Just last year, the company delivered a whopping 1,350 bus chassis to UPSRTC, which are now cruising smoothly across the state of Uttar Pradesh. The success of that deal played a big role in this new order. After all, when something works well, why not stick with it?

What Makes Tata LPO 1618 Stand Out?

So, what’s special about these buses? The Tata LPO 1618 chassis is built for long-distance and intercity travel, making it perfect for the UPSRTC fleet. It’s powered by a BS VI-compliant Cummins 5.6L engine, for lower emissions and better efficiency. Passengers will love the comfortable ride, operators will appreciate the low maintenance and operating costs, and there are air-conditioned variants too, overall, this sounds like a good deal.

Phased Delivery for Growing Demand

The 1,000 new chassis will be delivered in phases, helping UPSRTC expand its fleet and meet the increasing demand for public transport across Uttar Pradesh. With these additions, the state is all set to improve its public transportation system, making it more reliable and comfortable for daily commuters.

Tata Motors’ stock is down 2.17% today, trading at Rs.883.70, but remains up 36.51% over the past year and 11.78% year to date.

Conclusion: In conclusion, Tata Motors continues its strengthening partnership with UPSRTC, proving once again why it’s a leader in the commercial vehicle space. As these new buses hit the roads, Tata Motors will not only boost mobility in Uttar Pradesh but also help with sustainable transportation solutions.
