Bus is the most common mode of transport used by public for both Inter City as well as for Intra City operations. Untill recent days people considered it a luxury if the bus comes at its stipulated time. The commuter had no option, but to travel in whatever mode of transport available. But the position has gradually changed during the last 5 years. More number of buses are being inducted into the system. Today the passenger has options in most of the prominent cities and routes. Accordingly the passenger is attaching more importance to comfort and aesthetics. Hence there is demand for comfortable aesthetically built attractive buses.
As regards to urban areas, pollution levels in major cities are crossing the limits due to traffic pollution. The cities are also getting congested due to high concentration of vehicles. Hence the Governments are motivating the public to use public transport by offering them comfortable, safe and good looking buses. We, at KMS Coach Builders are devoted to make this happen.
Pathway of KMS:
KMS Coach Builders,based in Bangalore was established during November 2006 with its works situated at # 125 /1 B – Industrial Area, Kengeri on Bangalore – Mysore Highway. Initially, it was started as a “Proprietorship” concern. In order to support the growing activities, the proprietorship concern was converted into a Private Limited Company during June 2007. This led to the emergence of KMS Coach Builders Pvt. Ltd. We are one of the leading companies engaged in bus body manufacturing and supplying to various government and private organizations across the country. Our contemporary designs, quality products, market leading prices and prompt timely deliveries have made a big impact on the bus body building industries situated in Bangalore. Since its emergence in this business domain, KMS has been successfully fulfilling the growing demands of several leading Transport Corporations of the India.
KMS is dedicated to manufacture bus bodies of latest in design and robust in construction. With the complete knowledge of current market trends backed by sincere efforts of our dedicated workforce, we have constructed buses for some of the most reputed State Transport Corporations in India. KMS is also constructing buses for several prominent schools & colleges situated in and around Bangalore. Some of the worth mentioning customers we are serving are listed as below:
- Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation.
- Karnataka State Transport Corporation, Bangalore.

- Andhra Pradesh State Transport Corporation, Hyderabad.
Apart, from above listed State Transport Corporations, we are also constructing buses for the two leading O.E. Manufacturers of India viz.,
- Ashok Leyland Ltd.,
- TATA Motors Ltd.,
KMS initially started with a monthly production capacity of 15 –20 buses. With the growing list of customers, first phase of expansion was completed during June 2007. Since this expansion was also not sufficient to meet the demand, the second phase of expansion was completed during Dec 2007.
With further increase in the customer base, the present infrastructure is also falling short of requirement. Hence, third phase of expansion is under process and with this KMS is expecting to increase the production capacity to 100 buses a month. Within three years of inception, KMS has commissioned three phases of expansion.

These buses are being operated to Bangalore International Airport from different parts of city.

Adding to this, BMTC has inducted a new series of BIG – 10 buses which is also a feather from the cap of KMS.We are the first bus body builder in Bangalore to construct “Semi Low Floor” buses as per the specification of JN NURM for BMTC & KSRTC.
