Tata Motors, India’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, has received an order from the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) to supply 1,000 units of its Tata LPO 1618 diesel bus chassis. The order was awarded through a competitive e-bidding process as part of the government’s tendering procedure, with the bus chassis set to be delivered in phases under mutually agreed terms.

The Tata LPO 1618 chassis is engineered for high reliability, minimal maintenance, and low operating costs. We look forward to fulfilling the order in alignment with UPSRTC’s requirements,” he said.
