Tata Motors beats target, becomes India’s first to roll out 50,000 EVs

Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, the EV arm of Tata Motors rolled its 50,000th electric vehicle—a Nexon EV—from its facility in Pune, Maharashtra, becoming the first auto company in India to achieve the feat. The EV market leader, which entered the market in 2020, is now focusing on a three-phased architecture approach for EVs and plans to launch 10 such vehicles in five years, it said in a statement on Monday.

In a video address, N Chandrasekaran, chairman, Tata Sons and Tata Motors, said when the company set out to work on an EV in 2018 it looked like a “dream project.” However, four years since then it has come a long way in its journey which was made possible due to the conviction of the core team and the various Tata Group companies coming together.
