Tata Motors entered the passenger vehicle market in 1991 with the launch of theTata Sierra, a multi utility vehicle. This was followed by the launch of theTata Estate in 1992 (astationwagon based on the existing TataMobile light commercial vehicle) and theTata Sumo in 1994, India's first sports utility vehicle.
Tata launched theIndica in 1998, the first fully indigenous Indian passenger car. Although initially criticised by auto-analysts, its excellent fuel economy, powerful engine and an aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in the history of the Indian automobile industry. A newer version of the car, named Indica V2, was a major improvement over the previous version and quickly became a mass favourite. Tata Motors also successfully exported large quantities of the car to South Africa. The success of Indica played a key role in the growth of Tata Motors.[3]
In January 2008, Tata Motors launchedTata Nano, the least expensive production car in the world at about₹120,000 (US$3,000).[4] Thecity car was unveiled during the Auto Expo 2008 exhibition inPragati Maidan,New Delhi.[5]
Tata faced controversy over developing the Nano, as environmentalists likeAnumita Roychoudhury of the Centre for Science and Environment in Delhi[6] andRajendra K. Pachauri,[7] the chairperson of theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), raised concerns over the launch of such a low-priced car. They say that it could lead tomass motorization in India, which would lead to an increase in pollution and accelerateclimate change.[8][9] Tata had set up a factory inSanand,Gujarat, and the first Nanos were rolled out in the summer of 2009.[1]
Tata Motors Cars has entered the Southeast Asian market by expanding into Vietnam and the Philippines.[2]
At the 12thAuto Expo in February 2014, Tata Motors unveiled The Bolt, ahatchback and The Zest, a compactsedan.[10]
Tata Motors raised its capital expenditure by 30 percent to Rs 32,000 crore to accelerate its transition to electric vehicles.
In 2020, there were plans for Chinese auto makerChery to buy a percentage of Tata Motors to allow Chery (who already make Jaguar Land Rover[11] cars in a joint venture in China) to gain entry into the Indian market, and Tata Motors to get technology for cars such as the proposed Tata Blackbird.[12][13] However, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and continuing geopolitical and border tensions between India and China, the purchase was not completed.
It was announced on May 30, 2022, that Tata Motors had signed an MOU with the Gujarat Government to acquireFord India'sSanand manufacturing plant.[14]
