VinFast Electric SUV Fleet Debuts in India via Green SM Limo Taxi Launch in New Delhi
NEW DELHI, India — On June 5, 2026, coinciding with World Environment Day, sustainable mobility operator Green SM officially entered the Indian transport sector with the launch of Green SM Limo, featuring a fleet powered exclusively by VinFast electric vehicles. The deployment designates India as the fifth international market for the ecosystem, following established operations in Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, and the Philippines. In its initial phase, the zero-emission VinFast fleet will serve key areas within the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR), with structured expansions planned to meet escalating urban transit demands.
The high-profile launch ceremony in New Delhi was attended by prominent government figures and diplomatic representatives, including Shri Rao Narbir Singh, Honorable Minister for Industries & Commerce, Environment, Forest & Wildlife, Foreign Cooperation, and Sainik & Ardh Sainik Welfare for the Government of Haryana, alongside Dr. Virinder Sharma, Vice President of the Commission for Air Quality Management. Representatives from various Indian government agencies, the Embassy of Vietnam in India, and cross-industry strategic partners were also present to mark the arrival of the VinFast-driven transit model.
VinFast Vehicle Specifications and Advanced Safety Infrastructure
Green SM Limo utilizes the VinFast Limo Green, a specialized seven-seater fully electric SUV engineered specifically for high-quality passenger transit. These VinFast electric vehicles provide zero tailpipe emissions, directly addressing urban air quality concerns while accommodating daily commuting, corporate travel, family trips, and airport transfers.
To ensure passenger safety and operational transparency, each VinFast SUV is integrated with the “Secure-to-Safe” safety framework. This infrastructure includes:
- Comprehensive Surveillance: Interior and exterior security cameras monitor every journey.

- Emergency Protocols: Dedicated emergency support buttons are accessible to both drivers and passengers.
In-cabin amenities within the VinFast fleet include complimentary drinking water, wet tissues, and essential travel conveniences designed to optimize passenger comfort.
Driver Training and the “Ride 5 Star” Framework
Operational standards for the VinFast fleet are maintained by a team of professionally certified “Green Drivers”. Every driver undergoes a rigorous training curriculum that encompasses specialized VinFast electric vehicle operations, defensive road safety protocols, and premium customer service benchmarks.
The service operates under a structured “Ride 5 Star” commitment. This quality-assurance framework evaluates four core performance metrics:
- Vehicle Quality: Maintenance of the fully electric, seven-seater VinFast SUV fleet.
- Safety Standards: Strict compliance with the AI-driven Secure-to-Safe system protocols inside the VinFast cars.

As part of its market entry, Green SM formalised agreements with five local Indian partners spanning the mobility, travel, technology, and service sectors. These organizations have joined the Green Alliance Frontier, a global collaborative platform designed to link eco-conscious enterprises, drive sustainable innovation, and accelerate green transit transformations across international markets utilizing electric vehicles like VinFast.
Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh, GSM Global CEO, emphasized the strategic importance of the expansion:
“India is one of the most important mobility markets in the world. Its scale, rapid growth, and strong spirit of innovation are opening up many opportunities for the future of green transportation. We come to India with respect for the market, confidence in its long-term potential, and a commitment to working closely with local partners.
