Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup has launched its electric taxi service, Green SM, in the Delhi-NCR region, marking its entry into India’s growing electric mobility sector. The service started operations on June 5 and represents Green SM’s expansion into a major international market after establishing its presence in Vietnam and parts of Southeast Asia.
The company has deployed an all-electric fleet across Delhi, Noida, Gurugram and surrounding areas. Passengers can book rides through the Green SM mobile app, available on Android and iOS devices. The service aims to provide a sustainable transportation alternative while contributing to efforts to reduce urban pollution.
Green SM’s fleet consists of electric vehicles produced by VinFast, Vingroup’s electric vehicle subsidiary. The company said the initiative aligns with its broader vision of promoting environmentally friendly transportation solutions and supporting the transition to cleaner mobility.
To ensure service quality, Green SM said its drivers will undergo professional training focused on customer service, road safety and operational standards. The company also highlighted transparent pricing, vehicle cleanliness and a consistent customer experience as key features of its offering.
The launch is part of Vingroup’s wider strategy to expand its presence in India. VinFast is preparing to introduce its electric vehicles in the country and is developing a manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu. The taxi service is expected to help increase brand visibility ahead of the company’s planned automotive expansion.
India has emerged as an important market for electric vehicles, driven by government support, policy incentives and growing consumer awareness of sustainable transportation. Industry observers say electric taxi services can play a significant role in encouraging EV adoption by familiarising more people with the technology through daily use.
Green SM enters a competitive ride-hailing market currently dominated by established players. However, the company is positioning itself as a dedicated electric mobility platform focused entirely on zero-emission transportation.
