HISTORY Tata, family of pioneer Indian industrialists and philanthropists. The founder of the Tata business empire was 0amset*i 4usserwan*i Tata 5#8637#3"$8. 9orn in 4avsari, into a ,arsi family, 0amset*i studied at :lphinstone )ollege in Mumbai before entering his father;s business as a general merchant trading with the :ast. /e soon proved highly successful, setting up a branch in

+hanghai and steering the family through the speculation and collapse of cotton prices that arose due to the -merican )ivil <ar. 0amset*i traveled widely and introduced sound business principles which he believed to be the cornerstone of his success. /is key concerns were to utilize modern technology, and to ensure good working conditions and welfare for his employees. These principles could clearly be seen in his first ma*or venture, the establishment of the :mpress Mills in #8&& at 4=gpur. In #88' he founded the +vadeshi Mills )ompany>the name of which indicated his sympathies with a nationalist movement of the day> competing directly with 9ritish firms in the manufacture of fine cotton. /is iron and steel works at +akchi, around which he built houses, schools, and a hospital for the workers, e!panded from a village into the current industrial town of 0amshedpur. ?ther pro*ects included the founding of the famous Ta* Mahal /otel in

Mumbai, and the beginning of work on a ma*or hydroelectric pro*ect in the <estern Ghats mountain range. 0amset*i was also concerned with the development of Mumbai, and India as a whole, and hoped, through improving educational and research facilities, to provide the skilled workforce needed for an emerging modern, industrialized nation. /e founded a number of educational institutions, but his efforts to form an Indian university as a center of e!cellence for science did not reach fruition until after his death when, in #3"3, the Indian Institute of +cience was established in 9angalore. It remains an outstanding research center. 0amset*i;s achievements were built upon by his sons +ir 2orab*i 0amset*i Tata 5#8 37#36%8 and +ir 1atan Tata 5#8&#7 #3#88, who completed the hydroelectric pro*ect. They also brought the original companies under the name of Tata +ons and )ompany, and set up branches of

their business in .ondon, ,aris, 4ew @ork, +hanghai, and Aobe. The Tata Trust has provided funds for hospitals and research establishments, including the Tata Institute for Bundamental 1esearch. Tata -irlines was founded in #36%, being renamed -ir India in #3$', and was taken over by the government as India;s national airline in #3 6. The Tata empire remains one of India;s largest business groups. Brom #368 to #336, it was chaired by 0ehangir 1atan*i 2adabhoy Tata 5#3"$7#3368, under whom the business continued to e!pand and diversify. ?n the death of 0.1.2. Tata, the chairmanship passed to 1atan 4aval Tata.

increasing demand in its own backyard, India due to infrastructure developments and rising G2,. India remains one of the few developing auto markets where domestic brands have managed to keep a large presence, Tata and fellow compatriots account for more than '"( of the passenger vehicle sales and 3 ( of commercial vehicle sales. There are also favorable Government polices and regulations in place in order to help boost the auto industry. /owever, Tata has not been able to capitalize on its global presence. Tata relies heavily on its sales in India and has not yet managed to create a foothold in international markets even though it has a number of well reputed subsidiaries. /owever, Tata 4ano may boost its international presence atleast in developing economies. Though it has an advantage in India, thanks to low costs and government policies it soon faces stiff competition from it multinational competitors all eyeing for a share in the ever growing

Indian auto sector. :arlier, a policy reGuired ma*ority7owned subsidiaries of foreign car firms to invest at least C+D " million in eGuity if they wished to set up manufacturing pro*ects in India and mere car assembling operations were not welcomed. -n Indian cabinet panel has since announced a new automobile policy that sets fresh investment guidelines for foreign firms wishing to manufacture vehicles in the country. Investments in making auto parts by a foreign .vehicle maker will also be considered a part of the minimum foreign investment made by it in an auto7making subsidiary in India. The move is aimed at helping India emerge as a hub for global manufacturing and sourcing for auto parts. The policies adopted by Government will increase competition in domestic market, motivate many foreign commercial vehicle manufactures to set up shops in India, whom will make India as a production hub and e!port to nearest market. Thus Tata Motors will have to face tough

competition in near future, which might affect its growth negatively. )urrently, the presence of +uzuki through its subsidiary, Maruti +uzuki in the Indian market may also be alarming. Maruti has aggressively launched family cars to undermine the Tata models. Tata has continued to be strong in the MCI and +CI sector due to lack of competition and correct pricing. /owever, Tata now faces stiff competition from fellow compatriot Mahindra as well as multinational brand like Toyota and )hevrolet. In addition, the growing presence of fellow Indian competitors, Mahindra and Borce Motors not only in the Indian but also in the Global market may effect TataKs sales. Mahindra and Borce have formed *oint ventures with 1enault and M-4 respectively. Mahindra has also formed a #M$3 0I called Mahindra 4avistar with IT:), C+5parent 4avistar International8, to manufacture commercial vehicles and to bolster its position in the )I
