Tata Motors wins case against firm that won contract to supply e-buses

Tata Motors had challenged the tender Brihanmumbai Electric Supply & Transport awarded to Evey for supplying 2,100 electric buses

Tata Motors won a case against Evey Trans when the Bombay High Court on Tuesday cancelled a contract awarded in May to Olectra Greentech’s subsidiary for supplying electric buses to the city’s transport agency.
