Vietnamese electric mobility company Green SM has officially entered India, launching its all electric taxi service in one of the world’s fastest growing transportation markets and marking another milestone in the international expansion of Vietnam’s emerging EV ecosystem.
The launch took place on June 5, coinciding with World Environment Day, as Green SM seeks to position itself as a provider of sustainable transportation solutions in a country that is rapidly accelerating its transition toward cleaner mobility.
India becomes the fifth market for Green SM after Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, and the Philippines, highlighting the company’s ambitions to build a regional electric transportation network centered around vehicles manufactured by Vietnamese automaker VinFast.
The service will initially operate in the Delhi National Capital Region (Delhi NCR), one of India’s largest urban areas and a key battleground for ride hailing and mobility providers. Green SM said expansion into additional locations will follow in phases based on market demand.
Unlike traditional taxi services, the fleet will consist entirely of VinFast Limo Green vehicles, a seven seat electric model developed specifically for passenger transportation services. The vehicle forms part of VinFast’s broader strategy to expand beyond vehicle sales and establish a complete electric mobility ecosystem.
Green SM says its premium service will include complimentary drinking water, wet towels, and a range of safety features designed to enhance passenger confidence. These include the company’s Secure to Safe (S2S) system, which incorporates interior and exterior cameras, AI powered monitoring technology, and emergency support functions for both drivers and passengers.
Drivers operating on the platform have also undergone specialized training covering electric vehicle operation, road safety, and customer service standards.
Customers in India can book rides through the Green SM mobile application, contact the company’s call center, or hail vehicles directly. To attract early adopters, the company is offering promotional discounts of up to 50 percent on app based bookings during the launch period.
The launch event brought together representatives from Green SM, VinFast, Indian government agencies, and diplomatic missions, underscoring the growing economic ties between Vietnam and India, particularly in the green technology and sustainable transportation sectors.
Green SM also announced the addition of five strategic partners from the transportation, tourism, technology, and services industries to its Green Alliance Frontier initiative, a platform designed to connect businesses committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
India represents one of the most significant opportunities for electric mobility companies globally. With severe urban air pollution challenges, supportive government policies, and a rapidly expanding middle class, the country has become a major target market for EV manufacturers and mobility operators seeking long term growth.
For Green SM, the move signals more than a geographic expansion. It reflects the growing international ambitions of Vietnamese companies looking to compete in global green technology sectors. As VinFast continues expanding its presence in overseas markets, Green SM’s launch in India provides another test of whether Vietnam’s electric mobility model can gain traction beyond Southeast Asia.
Founded in 2023, Green SM has quickly become one of Vietnam’s most recognizable electric transportation brands. Its entry into India marks the company’s largest international expansion to date and places it in direct competition within one of the world’s most dynamic mobility markets.
