Tata Motors Limited is India's largest automobile company, with consolidated revenues of Rs.
92,519 crores (USD 20 billion) in 2009-10. It is the leader in commercial vehicles in each
segment, and among the top three in passenger vehicles with winning products in the
compact, midsize car and utility vehicle segments. The company is the world's fourth largest
truck manufacturer, and the world's second largest bus manufacturer.

The company's 24,000 employees are guided by the vision to be "best in the manner in which
we operate, best in the products we deliver, and best in our value system and ethics."

Established in 1945, Tata Motors' presence indeed cuts across the length and breadth of India.
Over 5.9 million Tata vehicles ply on Indian roads, since the first rolled out in 1954. The
company's manufacturing base in India is spread across Jamshedpur (Jharkhand), Pune
(Maharashtra), Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), Pantnagar (Uttarakhand) and Dharwad (Karnataka).
Following a strategic alliance with Fiat in 2005, it has set up an industrial joint venture with
Fiat Group Automobiles at Ranjangaon (Maharashtra) to produce both Fiat and Tata cars and
Fiat powertrains. The company is establishing a new plant at Sanand (Gujarat). The company's
dealership, sales, services and spare parts network comprises over 3500 touch points; Tata
Motors also distributes and markets Fiat branded cars in India.

Tata Motors, the first company from India's engineering sector to be listed in the New York
Stock Exchange (September 2004), has also emerged as an international automobile
company. Through subsidiaries and associate companies, Tata Motors has operations in the
UK, South Korea, Thailand and Spain. Among them is Jaguar Land Rover, a business
comprising the two iconic British brands that was acquired in 2008. In 2004, it acquired the
Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company, South Korea's second largest truck maker. The
rechristened Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company has launched several new products
in the Korean market, while also exporting these products to several international markets.
Today two-thirds of heavy commercial vehicle exports out of South Korea are from Tata
Daewoo. 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. Hispano's
presence is being expanded in other markets. In 2006, Tata Motors formed a joint venture
with the Brazil-based Marcopolo, a global leader in body-building for buses and coaches to
manufacture fully-built buses and coaches for India and select international markets. In 2006,
Tata Motors entered into joint venture with Thonburi Automotive Assembly Plant Company of
Thailand to manufacture and market the company's pickup vehicles in Thailand. The new plant
of Tata Motors (Thailand) has begun production of the Xenon pickup truck, with the Xenon
having been launched in Thailand in 2008.

Tata Motors is also expanding its international footprint, established through exports since
1961. The company's commercial and passenger vehicles are already being marketed in
several countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia, South Asia and South
America. It has franchisee/joint venture assembly operations in Kenya, Bangladesh, Ukraine,
Russia, Senegal and South Africa.

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 3,000 engineers and scientists, the company's
Engineering Research Centre, established in 1966, has enabled pioneering technologies and
products. The company today has R&D centres in Pune, Jamshedpur, Lucknow, Dharwad in
India, and in South Korea, Spain, and the UK. It was Tata Motors, which developed the first
indigenously developed Light Commercial Vehicle, India's first Sports Utility Vehicle and, in
1998, the Tata Indica, India's first fully indigenous passenger car. Within two years of launch,
Tata Indica became India's largest selling car in its segment. In 2005, Tata Motors created a
new segment by launching the Tata Ace, India's first indigenously developed mini-truck.

In January 2008, Tata Motors unveiled its People's Car, the Tata Nano, which India and the
world have been looking forward to. The Tata Nano has been subsequently launched, as
planned, in India in March 2009. A development, which signifies a first for the global
automobile industry, the Nano brings the comfort and safety of a car within the reach of
thousands of families. The standard version has been priced at Rs.100,000 (excluding VAT and
transportation cost).
Designed with a family in mind, it has a roomy passenger compartment with generous leg
space and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons. Its mono-volume design will set a
new benchmark among small cars. Its safety performance exceeds regulatory requirements in
India. Its tailpipe emission performance too exceeds regulatory requirements. In terms of
overall pollutants, it has a lower pollution level than two-wheelers being manufactured in India
today. The lean design strategy has helped minimise weight, which helps maximise
performance per unit of energy consumed and delivers high fuel efficiency. The high fuel
efficiency also ensures that the car has low carbon dioxide emissions, thereby providing the
twin benefits of an affordable transportation solution with a low carbon footprint.

In May 2009, Tata Motors introduced ushered in a new era in the Indian automobile industry,
in keeping with its pioneering tradition, by unveiling its new range of world standard trucks
called Prima. In their power, speed, carrying capacity, operating economy and trims, they will
introduce new benchmarks in India and match the best in the world in performance at a lower
life-cycle cost.

Tata Motors is equally focussed on environment-friendly technologies in emissions and

alternative fuels. . It has developed electric and hybrid vehicles both for personal and public
transportation. It has also been implementing several environment-friendly technologies in
manufacturing processes, significantly enhancing resource conservation

Through its subsidiaries, the company is engaged in engineering and automotive solutions,
construction equipment manufacturing, automotive vehicle components manufacturing and
supply chain activities, machine tools and factory automation solutions, high-precision tooling
and plastic and electronic components for automotive and computer applications, and
automotive retailing and service operations.

Tata Motors is committed to improving the quality of life of communities by working on four
thrust areas – employability, education, health and environment. The activities touch the lives
of more than a million citizens. The company's support on education and employability is
focused on youth and women. They range from schools to technical education institutes to
actual facilitation of income generation. In health, our intervention is in both preventive and
curative health care. The goal of environment protection is achieved through tree plantation,
conserving water and creating new water bodies and, last but not the least, by introducing
appropriate technologies in our vehicles and operations for constantly enhancing environment
care.

With the foundation of its rich heritage, Tata Motors today is etching a refulgent future.
