History:

It was designed to be inexpensive and simple to build and maintain. y Indica became a hit in the Indian market and was also exported to Europe, especially in UK and Italy. y In 2005, Tata Motors acquired a 21% stake in Hispano Carrocera, a reputed Spanish bus and coach manufacturer, and subsequently the remaining stake in 2009. y The foundation of the Company's growth over the last 50 years is a deep understanding of economic stimuli and customer needs, and the ability to translate them into customer-desired offerings through leading edge R&D. With over 4,500 engineers and scientists, the Company's Engineering Research Centre, established in 1966, has enabled pioneering technologies and products.

Though the car was initially planned by auto-analysts, the car s excellent fuel economy, powerful engine and aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in the history of the Indian automobile industry. y A newer version of the car, named Indica V2, was a major improvement over the previous version and quickly became a mass-favorite. Tata Motors also successfully exported large quantities of the car to South Africa. The success of Indica in many ways marked the rise of Tata Motors. y Tata Motors is also expanding its international footprint, established through exports since 1961.

It has franchisee/joint venture assembly operations in Kenya, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Russia, Senegal and South Africa. y To expand the product portfolio Tata Motors recently introduced the 25MT GVW Tata Novus from Daewoo s (South Korea) (TDCV) platform. y Tata plans to leverage on the strong presence of TDCV. This was mainly to cater to the international market and also to cater to the domestic market.
