Chandra also discusses the recent surge in EV demand following the fuel price rise, Tata’s plans to expand EV capacity by 50% over the coming months, the long-term outlook for hatchbacks, diesel and CNG, the company’s export ambitions, and the steps Tata is taking to address persistent after-sales service complaints.
