VIVA’s commitment to quality and innovation is evident in its extensive range of products. The company offers over 500 shades, including customized options, catering to diverse aesthetic and functional requirements.
“We can give you more than 500 shades along with customized shades.

This flexibility in customization is a significant advantage, allowing VIVA to meet the unique demands of various sectors, including the burgeoning EV (Electric Vehicle) market.
Focus on the Bus Body Market
At Prawaas, VIVA highlighted its focus on the bus body market, particularly the interiors of bus coaches. The company’s ACPs are meticulously engineered products offering comprehensive benefits, including fire resistance for enhanced passenger safety, lightweight design that boosts fuel efficiency and vehicle performance, and 100% maintenance-free durability. Viva’s metal composite panels are termite and impact resistant, versatile, and exhibit excellent flatness for seamless application across various bus body areas. They provide sound and thermal resistance for improved passenger comfort, quick and easy installation to streamline production, and UV and weather resistance to ensure longevity and enduring aesthetics. Committed to sustainability, Viva ACP contributes to eco-friendly transportation solutions, suitable for both exterior and interior applications, making them ideal for various types of buses, including school buses, caravans, and luxury coaches. “Our focus is to capture the bus body market” Raju noted. VIVA’s products are already being used by major clients such as Tata Marcopolo, VE Commercial, and MG Coach, demonstrating their reliability and quality.
Meeting the Needs of the EV Segment
The rise of the EV segment has brought new challenges and opportunities for ACP manufacturers. VIVA has adapted its R&D and production facilities to meet the specific needs of EV vehicles, which require lightweight and fire-retardant materials. The company has successfully supplied customized ACPs to Tata Marcopolo for their EV buses in Karnataka.
Strong Client Base and Serviceability
VIVA’s extensive client base includes major players in the bus body industry, such as SM Kanappa, Veera Vahana, and Damodar Coach. The company’s strength lies not only in its production capacity but also in its robust supply chain and serviceability. With warehouses in every major city, VIVA ensures quick and efficient delivery of materials. “Our service is very fast in terms of supply. We make sure orders are received within a day,” Raju highlighted.
