Looking ahead, he mentioned that Tata Motors is focused on enhancing profitability and is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging mobility opportunities.
The company plans to maintain disciplined capital allocation while investing in future technologies such as connected vehicle platforms, advanced driver assistance systems, data-driven fleet services, digital mobility solutions, and next-generation powertrains.
