Tata Motors President Shailesh Chandra speaks to Autocar India at the launch of the new-generation Tata Tiago and Tiago.ev. In this interview, he explains the thinking behind the Tiago EV’s battery and pricing strategy, why it deliberately differs from the Punch.ev, and how Tata is positioning the two cars to avoid cannibalisation. 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.
