Tata Motors Friday said it will fulfill the order to supply 255 electric buses to various state transport undertakings (STUs) by July this year, while admitting delays due to supply constraints of batteries.
The company said it has already delivered the first batch of electric buses to various STUs as per the FAME I tender wins.
The company has delivered a total of 22 buses and an additional 72 buses are in transit to Lucknow, Kolkata, Indore, Guwahati, and Jammu, it said in a regulatory filing, while denying reports that the firm has been blacklisted by the government for delays in deliveries.
"We have been in regular touch with all STUs and have undergone various stages of inspection," Tata Motors said.
Admitting the delay in delivery, the company said, "there has been some delays due to unforeseen issues in the supply of batteries that are imported from other markets and we are addressing them on priority."
