Important developments
Tata Nano
In January 2008, Tata Motors launched Tata Nano, the least expensive production car in the world
at about 120,000 (US $3000) The city car was unveiled during the Auto
Expo 2008 exhibition in PragatiMaidan, New Delhi.
Tata has faced controversy over developing the Nano as some
environmentalists are concerned that the launch of such a low-priced car
could lead to mass motorization in India with adverse effects on
pollution and global warming. Tata had set up a factory in Sanand, Gujarat and the first Nanos
were rolled out in summer 2009.
Tata Nano Europa had been developed for sale in developed economies and it hit markets in 2010
while the normal Nano had hit markets in South Africa, Kenya and countries in Asia and Africa by
late 2009. A battery version is also planned.
Tata Ace
Tata Ace was India's first mini truck
6. Tata Ace, India's first indigenously developed sub-one ton mini-truck, was launched in May 2005.
The mini-truck was a huge success in India with auto-analysts claiming
that Ace had changed the dynamics of the light commercial vehicle
(LCV) market in the country by creating a new market segment termed
the small commercial vehicle (SCV) segment. Ace rapidly emerged as
the first choice for transporters and single truck owners for city and rural
transport. By October 2005, LCV sales of Tata Motors had grown by 36.6 percent to 28,537 units
due to the rising demand for Ace. The Ace was built with a load body produced by Autoline
Industries. By 2005, Autoline was producing 300 load bodies per day for Tata Motors.
Ace is still a top seller for TML with 500,000 units sold to date (June 2010).
Ace has also been exported to several Asian, European, South American and African countries and
all-electric models are sold through Chrysler's Global Electric Motorcars division.In Sri Lanka it is
sold through Diesel & Motor Engineering(DIMO) PLC under the name of DIMO Batta.
Compressed air car
Motor Development International of France has developed the world's first prototype of a
compressed air car, named OneCAT.In 2007, MDI owner Guy Negre was reported to have "the
backing of Tata".
It has airtanks that can be filled in 4 hours by plugging the car into a standard electrical plug. In
2008 MDI planned to also design a gas station compressor, which would fill the tanks in 3 minutes
There are no gasoline costs and no fossil fuel emissions from the vehicle when run in town, but "the
compressed air driving the pistons can be boosted by a fuel burner".
OneCAT is a five seat vehicle with a 200-litre (7.1 cu ft) trunk. With full tanks it is said to run at
100 km/h (62 mph) for 90 kilometres (56 mi) range in urban cycle. There are severe physical
arguments pleading against those figures. In December 2009 Tata's vice president of engineering
systems confirmed that the limited range and low engine temperatures were causing difficulties.[25]
7. Electric vehicles
Tata Motors unveiled the electric versions of passenger car Tata Indica and commercial vehicle
Tata Ace. Both run on lithium batteries. The company has indicated that the electric Indica would
be launched locally in India in about 2010, without disclosing the price. The vehicle would be
launched in Norway in 2009.
Tata Motors' UK subsidiary, Tata Motors European Technical Centre, has bought a 50.3% holding
in electric vehicle technology firm MiljøbilGrenland/Innovasjon of Norway for US$1.93 M, which
specialises in the development of innovative solutions for electric vehicles, and plans to launch the
electric Indica hatchback in Europe next year. On 17 Sept 2010 Tata motors presented to the DTC
(Delhi Transport corporation). Four CNG – Electric Hybrid low-floored Star-buses to be used for
Commonwealth games. These are the first Environmentally friendly buses to be used for public
transportation in India.

9. HISTORY :
ORIGIN AND BACKGROUND (Including Major acquisitions and mergers)
Tata Motors was first established in 1935 as a locomotive manufacturing unit. The first
commercial vehicle was manufactured in 1954, in collaboration with Daimler-Benz AG of
Germany. In 1960, the first truck, quite similar to a Daimler truck, rolled out from the Tata factory
in Pune. Ever since its launch, the truck became highly successful. However, the success of the
commercial vehicles was just the beginning of the flourishing and booming future of Tata Motors.
The company went ahead diversifying itself and took up other products as well. Apart from
exporting heavy-duty trucks, the company decided to come up with lighter versions for the local
market. Thus, began the production of the first LCV (Light Commercial Vehicle) model, Tata 407
in 1986.
In the early 1990s, the company began its expansion into the car market. Its first passenger vehicle
was Tata Sierra, a multi utility vehicle that was launched in 1991. Tata came up with three other
automobiles, namely, Tata Estate in 1992 (a station wagon based on the earlier „Tata Mobile‟ in
1989), Tata Sumo in 1994 (LCV) and Tata Safari in 1998 (India‟s first SUV).
After thoroughly analyzing the demand of the consumers, Ratan Tata, the current chairman of Tata
Group, decided to build a small car. Thus, in 1998, India‟s first fully indigenous passenger car,
Tata Indica was launched. It received an immediate success, since it was inexpensive and
relatively easy to build maintain. The car was exported to Europe, to UK and Italy. The second
generation of Indica, V2 was even more successful.
Indica‟s high success gave Tata Motors the financial power to take over Daewoo Motors in 2004.
This gave the company an opportunity to give their brand international exposure. Today,
Daewoo‟s trucks are sold as Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle in South Korea.
In 2005, the company acquired 21% share in Hispano Carrocera SA, earning the controlling rights
of the company.
10. In January 2008, the global automobile sector showcased the world‟s cheapest car in the form of
Tata Nano. Launched by Tata Motors, the car cost only Rs.1, 00,000 (US $2,500).
In the March of 2008, Tata Motors also acquired the Jaguar Land
Rover (JLR) business from the Ford Motor Company, which
included the Daimler and Lanchester brands.

19. Singur Tata Nano controversy
Tata Nano Singur Controversy refers to the controversy generated by land acquisition of
the proposed Nano factory of Tata Motors at [Singur] in Hooghly district, West Bengal,
India.
Singur gained international media attention since Tata Motors started constructing a factory
to manufacture their $2,500 car, the Tata Nano at Singur. The small car was scheduled to roll
out of the factory by 2008.
The state government of West Bengal facilitated the controversy by using an old rule to
conduct an eminent domain takeover of 997 acres (4.03 km2
) of farmland to have Tata build
its factory.The rule is meant for public improvement projects, and the West Bengal
government wanted Tata to build in its state. The project was opposed by activists, displaced
land owners and opposition parties in Bengal.
The choice of Singur was made by the company among six sites offered by the state
government. The project faced massive opposition from displaced farmers. The unwilling
farmers were given political support by West Bengal's opposition leader Mamata Banerjee.
Banerjee's "Save Farmland" movement was supported by environmental activists like
MedhaPatkar, AnuradhaTalwar and Arundhati Roy. Banerjee's movement against
displacement of farmers was also supported by several Kolkata based intellectuals like
AparnaSen, KaushikSen, ShaonliMitra and Suvaprasanna. Leftist activists also shared the
platform with Banerjee's Trinamool Party. The Tatas finally decided to move out of Singur
on 3 October 2008. Ratan Tata blamed agitation by Banerjee and her supporters for the
pullout decision. On 7 October 2008, the Tatas announced that they would be setting up the
Tata Nano plant in Sanand, Gujarat.
The CM of Gujarat, NarendraModi then sent an SMS to Mr. Ratan Tata, which simply said
"Suswagatham", to persuade him to relocate the Nano factory to Gujarat.
It took 14 months to build a new factory in Sanand, Gujarat compared with 28 months for the
Singur factory
20. FUTURE PROSPECTS :
Tata Motors plans to launch deluxe version of the Nano by 2012.It plans to sell world‟s cheapest
car (Tata Nano) in countries Africa, Latin America, and members of the south Asian association of
south Asian nations. It spends 30 billion rupees a year on the new products and plants.
Tata Manza CS -
Tata Motors has been expanding its range by adding more variants to its current portfolio. The
Pimpri-based automaker launched the Aria 4x2 this month to fill in the price gap between the
already existing Safari and the 4x4 version of the Aria. The Vista will soon get a facelift (as we
had mentioned in our older story) where the car will get some features from its elder sibling the
Manza.
Tata Aria AT Review
Tata had recently introduced the 4x2 version of the Aria to increase its sales by making it more
affordable. Now, Tata Motors is working towards a higher-end version for its crossover which
will come with an automatic gearbox. The automatic version of the Aria has already been
undergoing tests in India as well as abroad. We believe that Tata could have utilised some of the
technology and expertise from JLR to develop its first auto „box. The Aria has undergone
certain tests in the UK for about 3,000-4,000km. The new automatic transmission will not
service the Aria but will also make it way to the new Safari.
Tata Motors, which made a turnaround by posting a net profit of Rs2,571.06 crore in FY 10, has
drawn up a Rs2,500-3,000 crore capital expenditure plan for its Indian operations and £600-700
million for its Jaguar Land Rover subsidiary. "In the domestic business, we plan to invest
Rs2,500-3,000 crore annually," Tata Motors chief financial officer C Ramakrishnan told
reporters here today. "This expenditure will continue to be in this range going forward as we
continue to have a very large portfolio and number of product development plans.
