Keeping in mind India's need for a sustainable transport system, we will bring more products that run on alternative fuel and help drive the Swach Bharat campaign and the concept of Smart Cities."
"The launch of our Green Bus last year created an interest among various Transport Ministries, general public and stakeholders. Our sustainable transport solutions will promote empowerment of local farmers, create job opportunities, contribute to the GDP and conserve environment by cutting carbon emissions and using waste for extracting bio-fuels."
