Earlier this week Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV), a subsidiary of Tata Motors—India’s largest automotive manufacturer—announced that they had formally reentered the South African passenger vehicle market.

Tata on Wednesday said that this strategic reentry was underpinned by a strong alliance with Motus Holdings.

Shailesh Chandra, managing director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, said that their return to South Africa marked a significant milestone in Tata Motors’ global journey.

“We are excited to bring our new-generation of vehicles—designed with cutting-edge technology, uncompromising safety, and modern design—to a market that values quality and innovation,’ Chandra said.
