N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata group said this occasion is a significant milestone for Tata Motors and a proud moment for the entire team. "As we work together to build the future of e-mobility in India, I am confident that our customers will respond very favourably to this electric model,” added Chandrasekaran.
The electric drive systems for this order have been developed and supplied by Electra EV – a company established to develop and supply electric drive systems for the automotive sector, the company said in a statement.
