Green SM EV cab service now in India! Ola, Uber rival details

India’s ride-hailing market has a new entrant. Green SM Limo, the all-electric cab service operated by Vietnam’s Vingroup, has officially begun operations in India from June 5, 2026, starting with Delhi-NCR. The company plans to deploy around 10,000 electric vehicles in the Delhi-NCR alone.

The platform arrives as a challenger to players like Ola and Uber. However it has entered the market with a different business model. Unlike traditional ride-hailing aggregators that rely on driver-owned cars from multiple manufacturers, Green SM will operate a company-controlled electric fleet. This allows the operator to manage everything from vehicle quality and maintenance to driver training, charging schedules and customer experience.

The service will initially use electric vehicles from within the Vingroup ecosystem. The first model expected on Indian roads is the Limo Green MPV. Each cab will come with onboard amenities such as drinking water and wet tissues for passengers. The company is offering a 50 percent discount of up to Rs 250 on rides booked through the app between June 5 and June 11.

Green SM has officially launched its India operations, expanding its presence beyond markets such as Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia and the Philippines.


Pricing could become one of Green SM’s biggest advantages in the early stages. Reportedly, Green SM will initially deploy around 1,000 electric cars across Delhi-NCR.
