“SUVs today have gone way beyond their mere size.” Customers today are seeking a complete package that comes enhanced with stylish looks, spacious interiors, high ground clearance, superlative driving experience, connected features and class-leading safety. Keeping these in mind, we wanted to create a one-of-its-kind product that embodies the true spirit of Tata SUVs, while also being versatile, rugged and youthful in nature. We are excited to introduce our dynamic sub-compact SUV, the Tata PUNCH - a multifaceted and multi-talented vehicle designed in four unique personas - Pure, Adventure, Accomplished and Creative, each catering to different customer groups. Tata Motors Design Studios in India, UK, and Italy collaborated to develop this unique vehicle to herald the creation of an entirely new category - the subcompact SUV, to address a growing customer need for a small in size but large-inspace SUV. Built on the proven and modern Agile Light Flexible Advanced (ALFA) Architecture, the PUNCH incorporates several industry first innovations to enhance both functionality and driving pleasure. Its tall stance, high ground clearance and commanding driving position provide an exhilarating driving experience even while navigating all the unexpected challenges that Indian roads offer. Engineered at Tata Motors’ state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Pune, and with more than 90% automation in the weld line, incorporating some of the latest welding and joinery technologies, the Tata PUNCH is carefully engineered to offer the best ride on rough surfaces. It has been extensively tested over 2 million km using more than 150 prototypes through some of the harshest terrains stretching from the hot and arid environs of Rajasthan to the high altitude and extremely cold and tough terrains of Ladakh from temperatures ranging from -10°C to +50°C and at altitudes up to 18,000ft. The class leading comfort, advanced infotainment and connectivity match the high expectations of the discerning Indian car-buyers. We look forward to launching more products in the passenger vehicle segment. Stay tuned, stay safe. Best wishes for a prosperous parts business, Warm Regards, Rajan Amba Vice President (Commercial)

“Our Paint Business partners provide on-site training on painting processes to upgrade the skills of the staff involved in the job” Car painting requires skills. The painters may need to partially or completely repaint the whole vehicle either to change its colour or bring back its originality. They need to match the colour, shade and texture of the adjoining panels that are not being painted and normally the application happens inside an enclosed spray booth in order to protect the environment from harmful products. With a view to enhancing skills necessary to efficiently and professionally paint a vehicle, our paint business partners came forward to provide on-site training on paint processes at our channel partners for their body-shop staff. The trainings comprised of classroom sessions and on-the-job practical trainings. Inputs on epoxy primers, body filler/putty application, sanding, masking process, surface applications, spay-gun settings, base/clear coat application, and spray booth processes were imparted. Tata Motors has introduced India’s first sub-compact SUV, the Tata PUNCH. This vehicle incorporates several industry first innovations to enhance both functionality and driving pleasure. Read more on this micro SUV, our new kits and many other customer engagement initiatives in this issue. Stay safe. Warm regards, Vivek Gangrade Head (Parts Business), Passenger Vehicle Business Unit
