This builds upon Tata Motors' initial ₹150 crore investment in October 2023, bringing the company's total commitment to ₹270 crore. The cumulative investment reflects the deepening collaboration between India's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer and the digital logistics platform.
The fresh capital will support Freight Tiger's development of artificial intelligence-powered solutions aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and business intelligence in the logistics sector.

The platform's client portfolio includes major Indian corporations across steel, cement, fast-moving consumer goods, automotive, and e-commerce sectors, such as Saint-Gobain, JSW Steel, Asian Paints, Amul, Birla Pivot, Apollo Tyres, and Zepto.
According to regulatory filings, Freight Tiger reported revenue from operations of ₹26.6 crore in FY25, representing growth from ₹17.8 crore in FY24 and ₹18.9 crore in FY23. The company maintains an authorized share capital of ₹10.05 crore.
