The company's India entry began in June 2026 with Green SM Limo services in Delhi-NCR, using VinFast Limo Green electric vehicles. In five months, it says it has completed more than 1.5 million rides across the country.

Bengaluru's entry follows Green SM receiving an aggregator licence from the Karnataka Transport Department. The approval permits app-based cab operations in the state, though it does not itself specify a launch date or fleet size.
