    BEST cancels order for 118 out of 303 new buses

    The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking cancelled the order for 118 buses out of the 303 new buses it was to receive from Tata Motors; it did so due to a delay in delivery.

    It will now receive only 185 buses.

    The BEST administration received some criticism for keeping the BEST committee (policy-making body) in the dark about this decision.
