MUMBAI: Tata Motors would invest Rs 1,500 crore across various segments of freight-haulers to cement its leadership credentials after the country’s biggest truck-maker harnessed a robust product portfolio to help regain some of the lost market-share in the past couple of months.

Contrary to what some would believe the figures are not a result of “GST discounts” but a “strong product portfolio,” supported by greater engagement with dealers and customers, Girish Wagh, the newly appointed head of the commercial vehicles (CV) division told ET in his first interview since taking up the job. “Customers do not buy on price alone, they also buy on comfort.”

Tata Motors and its temporary workers at the Jamshedpur plant who were on a strike since Tuesday today agreed to end the four-day impasse.

Total retail sales for Jaguar Land Rover were at 38,519 units in August which is 4.3% up as compared to August 2016.

Kolkata: Leading automobile manufacturer Tata Motors is now working on alternative plans for its small car Nano whose sales have fallen making its production not a viable proposition, an official of the company said.

The tussle between Tata Group and Cyrus Mistry keeps on erupting.

Hours after Tata Motors annual general meeting (AGM) ended, Cyrus Mistry's office issued a statement saying its practice of lending without adequate risk assessment, particularly in the Nano and small commercial vehicle (SCV) segment, led to a huge NPA loss of Rs 4,000 crore for both Tata Motors and Tata Motor Finance.

Mumbai: Tata Motors Ltd Monday said it will invest Rs1,500 crore in its commercial vehicle business (CV) as it seeks to regain lost ground and return to profitability this fiscal year. The car and truck maker is also focusing on cost cutting which will save it at least Rs1,500 crore this fiscal, said Guenter Butschek, chief executive officer (CEO) and managing director.

“Our responsiveness to market volatility was not enough,” Butschek said at a press meeting in Mumbai on Monday. The company has realized the need to shift focus and get the “back bone” right, he added. The CV business is Tata Motors’ cash cow, fetching more than seven out of every ten rupees of its India revenues.

Homegrown auto major Tata Motors said on Monday it will invest Rs 4,000 crore in the current fiscal to bring new passenger and commercial vehicles to the market as part of its turnaround strategy.

The company also expects to save over Rs 1,500 crore and add to the bottom line in its domestic business through various cost optimisation exercises and hopes return to the black in 2017-18.
