Tata Hexa which was launched in Jan 2017 was discontinued in Feb 2020.
In just 3 years, about 9 old cars were discontinued.

Making product as the hero not the brand.
People are buying Nexon, not Tata Nexon.
Even in IPL, it is Altroz every where, not Tata Altroz.

14. Case Solution
• Tata Motors is the largest Indian automobile company in terms of revenue but if we look at the Passenger
Vehicle segment alone it is not the same.
• The main objective of Turnaround 2.0 strategy is to make Tata Motors no 3 player in the domestic
passenger segment, and then get back to its double-digit market share.
• Even though Tata Motors haven’t reached to the double-digit Market share yet, but it is able to get on to
the 3rd position in PV segment.
• This has been achieved because of its 3rd generation impact design models which are very well known
for its safety rating.
• And also, its diverse portfolio also played an important role, because Tata maintained at least one model
in all the segments which are in high demand.
• Tata Motors also started “Atmanirbharta by Tata Motors” campaign digitally highlighting the need of
localisation, this also played crucial role in turning customers to choose Tata Motors over others.
