Tata Motors
Tata Motors is an Indian multinational automotive company, headquartered in Mumbai and part of the Tata Group. The company produces cars, trucks, vans, and buses.
The company's notable subsidiaries include Jaguar Land Rover, Iveco and Tata Daewoo. Tata Motors has joint ventures with Hitachi (Tata Hitachi Construction Machinery) and Stellantis, which makes engines and vehicle components for Fiat Chrysler and Tata-branded vehicles.
Tata Motors has auto manufacturing and vehicle plants in Jamshedpur, Pantnagar, Lucknow, Sanand, Dharwad, and Pune in India, as well as in Argentina, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Thailand. It has research and development centers in Pune, Jamshedpur, Lucknow, Dharwad, India and South Korea, the United Kingdom, and Spain. Tata Motors is listed on the BSE and NSE, and is a constituent of the BSE SENSEX and NIFTY 50 benchmark indices. The company is ranked 283rd on the Fortune Global 500 list of the world's biggest corporations as of 2024.
Tata Motors was founded in 1945, as a locomotive manufacturer. Tata Group entered the commercial vehicle sector in 1954 after forming a joint venture with Mercedes-Benz of Germany in which Tata developed a manufacturing facility in Jamshedpur for Daimler lorries. By November 1954 Tata and Daimler manufactured their first goods carrier chassis at the Jamshedpur plant with 90-100 hp and capacity of 3-5 tons.
Tata launched the Indica in 1998. A newer version of the car, named Indica V2, later appeared. Tata Motors also exported cars to South Africa.
In 1999, Tata Motors entered talks to sell its struggling passenger car business, and Ford emerged as a potential buyer. However, after meeting Ford chairperson Bill Ford in Detroit, Ratan Tata decided not to sell the business.
Later in 2008, during the Great Recession, Ford verged on bankruptcy. Tata offered to buy their Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) for $2.3 billion. Bill Ford reportedly thanked Tata by saying "You are doing us a big favour by buying JLR."
In the 2000s, Tata Motors made a series of acquisitions and partnerships, acquiring Daewoo's South Korea-based truck manufacturing unit, a joint venture with the Brazil-based Marcopolo, Tata Marcopolo Bus, Jaguar Land Rover., Hispano Carrocera, and an 80% stake in the Italian design and engineering company Trilix.
