Tata Sierra spotted on Indian roads. Check it out
Tata Motors is preparing to bring back an iconic nameplate with a modern twist. The all-new Tata Sierra SUV, particularly its electric version, has been spotted undergoing road tests in India. Although the test prototype was heavily camouflaged, it still offered some insight into what the final product might look like. The Sierra is being developed in two forms—an all-electric version and an internal combustion engine (ICE) variant. Tata is expected to debut the electric version first, positioning it as the brand's flagship EV, sitting above the Curvv EV and the Harrier EV in the lineup. This will further strengthen Tata's electric vehicle portfolio, which has seen strong growth in recent years.

Revving up: Renault gets keys to Nissan's TN plant
CHENNAI: Four months after Renault Group announced its intent to buy out Nissan's 51% stake in joint India plant RNAIPL (Renault Nissan Automotive India Private Ltd), the French auto major has completed the acquisition and become sole owner of the Oragadam/Chennai facility. 'India is a key market for Renault Group and also plays a vital role in our global R&D footprint. With full ownership of our plant in Chennai, we now have all the means to accelerate in India,' said François Provost, CEO of Renault Group. The acquisition is part of Renault Group 'accelerating its development in India' said the company in a statement.

Since its launch in 2010, the Chennai plant has produced more than 2.8 million vehicles — including 1.2 million exported to more than 100 countries — as well as 4.6 million engines and gearboxes. Supported by nearly 300 local suppliers, the plant has an annual production capacity of more than 400,000 vehicles; it is currently using nearly 50% capacity. Going forward, the plant will continue to manufacture Nissan cars as well as have some 'kind of contract manufacturing arrangement,' the company said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo Renault expects the capacity utilization at the plant to improve as new models roll out of Oragadam for both Renault and Nissan.

The group is bullish on the local market's importance in its global strategy. 'Renault Group looks to India as a key driver of international expansion,' said the statement. This is part of a broader momentum, highlighted by the opening of Renault Group's largest design centre outside France, announced in April, and the launch of the new Triber — the first model in a product offensive that will include four new vehicles.
