History
Tata Motors was founded in 1945, as a locomotive manufacturer. Tata Group
entered the commercial vehicle sector in 1954 after forming a joint venture with
Daimler-Benz of Germany. After years of dominating the commercial vehicle
market in India, Tata Motors entered the passenger vehicle market in 1991 by
launching the Tata Sierra, a sport utility vehicle based on the Tata Mobile platform.
Tata subsequently launched the Tata Estate (1992; a station wagon design based
on the earlier Tata Mobile), the Tata Sumo (1994, a 5-door SUV) and the Tata Safari
(1998).
Tata launched the Indica in 1998, a fully indigenous Indian passenger car tailor-
made to suit Indian consumer needs though styled by I.D.E.A, Italy. Although
initially criticized by auto analysts, its 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. A newer version of the car, named Indica V2, was a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 numbers of car to South Africa. The
success of the Indica played a key role in the growth of Tata Motors.
