This will result in a consolidation of platforms and improve production efficiencies.

Following the launch of the Avinya in 2026, Tata Motors will have around six platforms, including a couple of derivatives of older platforms. It may come down to 2-3 platforms over the next few years. Shailesh Chandra, managing director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, observed that the multiple platforms "have to transition and converge to one platform for a certain set of products".
