A compact city car that was manufactured Tata Motors
POPULARITY
Back in 2009, Tata launched an egg-shaped four seater hatchback that it was convinced would redefine mobility for the masses, Tata Nano. Initially priced at just Rs. 1 lakh, it was designed as the dream ride for the lower middle class. It was a bold and ambitious that unfortunately didn't quite take off. Auto experts say it was because of a combination of factors. But perhaps the biggest learning from the Nano fiasco was that car ownership in India isn't just about wheels. It's about status. Now, almost two decades later, Tata Motors has managed to dethrone India's largest passenger carmaker, Maruti, to officially become the public's favourite. And it's all because of how it has positioned itself since the Nano. Take one of its most successful models, Tata Punch, for example. Last year, this compact SUV became the country's best selling car. It managed to beat the iconic Maruti Wagonr and Swift which previously took the top spot for several years now. So how did Tata Motors get here? In this episode we dive into its journey from the Nano to the Punch.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Friday, October 11, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started. A stalwart of India's corporate world passed away on Wednesday night. We'll bring you some stories on his legacy and work over the decades. After retiring as the chair of Tata Sons in 2012, Ratan Tata shifted his focus to supporting startups through his investment vehicle, RNT Associates. By 2019, he was actively engaging with budding entrepreneurs on Instagram. However, he was clear that getting funded didn't guarantee success. Tata's investments, though modest, were a mark of credibility in the startup community, especially when capital was hard to come by. His approach wasn't just about writing checks; he invested in mentoring the founders, focusing on their long-term vision and passion rather than immediate financial metrics. Mint's startups editor Ranjani Raghavan takes a look at the former Tata group chairman's vision for Indian startups. Ratan Tata, the visionary driving force behind Tata Motors, transformed it from a local truck maker into a global automotive powerhouse. During his tenure, the Tata Nano, the world's cheapest car, was launched, aimed at democratizing car ownership in India. Though it didn't hit commercial targets, the Nano exemplified Tata's visionary approach. Under his leadership in 1998, Tata Motors introduced the Indica, India's first indigenously developed passenger car. A landmark moment came in 2008 when Tata Motors acquired the iconic British brands Jaguar and Land Rover for 2.3 billion dollars from Ford. This was a stunning reversal of fortune, as Ford had previously considered buying Tata's car division. Tata turned these struggling brands into profitable entities, significantly enhancing Tata Motors' stature and revenues. Alisha Sachdev writes about Ratan Tata's legacy at one of India's biggest automobile companies. For over a century, the Tata group has been a cornerstone of the Indian industry, spanning multiple sectors. While JRD Tata was at the helm for 51 long years, his son Ratan was the one who did the heavy lifting. He took over right as India was on the cusp of opening up its economy. An opportunity, for sure — but it also would have led to a lot of challenges. Sundeep Khanna writes about the leadership at the Tata group, from JRD to RNT to now, N. Chandrasekaran, and how it has shaped not only the conglomerate, but also corporate India as a whole. He takes a retrospective look at its progress, pitfalls, and even some controversies over the years. The Indian equity market's rally has paused, with the Nifty50 index down 3% in the first seven trading sessions of October. India's volatility index rose 13%, indicating heightened risk aversion. Harsha Jethmalani writes that foreign investors are showing renewed interest in China, following the announcement of a stimulus package. That has led to investors pulling money out of Indian markets. This further raises the possibility of India's equities underperforming against the broader Asia markets, according to a Nomura report from 7 October. India's commercial office sector is set for a record-breaking year, signalling a strong bounce back from the pandemic lows. The sector is expected to surpass its previous high, with anticipated leases reaching over 70 million square feet across major cities by the end of 2024. This surge is largely driven by the return of multinational corporations to physical offices and a significant increase in demand from global capability centres and flexible office operators. Bengaluru is leading the charge in space absorption, followed by Delhi-NCR and Hyderabad, with tech companies, financial services and manufacturers actively snapping up office space. Madhurima Nandy explains how this leasing boom is not just good news for real estate but also a positive sign for the economy.
Durante unas décadas la disposición con el motor atrás era considerada la mejor para aprovechar el espacio y rebajar el coste de fabricación de un coche… hubo muchos y muy conocidos coches “todo atrás” … y también muchos poco o nada conocidos. Hoy toca hablar de los desconocidos. ¿Qué ventajas tiene el motor posterior? Voy a enumerar las más importantes: - Aprovechamiento del espacio. No hay árbol de transmisión por en medio. - Más barato, pues es más sencillo y con menos piezas que fabricar. - Aerodinámica, puedes hacer el morro muy bajo, porque ahí no hay “nada”. ¿Y el inconveniente? Pues no es lo ideal para la estabilidad, como te contamos en un video que hicimos titulado “Coche “todo atrás”, ¿Por qué son un peligro?”. En ese video aparece alguno de los coches que vamos a citar hoy. Vamos ya con la lista…. ¡a ver cuántos conoces! 1. Mercedes-Benz 130 (1934). Si miras este coche te puedes creer que estás ante un precursor del VW Escarabajo… pues no, es todo un Mercedes, pero con motor posterior. Tuvo diversos sucesores, los 150 y 170H. Las malas lenguas dicen que este modelo se inspiró en el Tatra T77 que apareció poco después y que era muy parecido… 2. Tatra 77a (1935). Tatra es una desaparecida marca checa por la que tengo gran aprecio. Hemos hablado de ella en muchas ocasiones, porque es injustamente olvidada. Prácticamente siempre apostó por grandes motores colocados atrás y por modelos con refinada aerodinámica. Uno de los primeros de esta saga es el 77a que he elegido para esta lista… ¡no me digáis que no es precioso! 3. SMZ (1954). ¡Una verdadera rareza! Es un coche ruso destinado a personas discapacitadas… En las desaparecidas URSS se le conocía como “la silla de ruedas con motor” y contaba con una mecánica de dos tiempos, 350 cm3 y 10 CV en la versión A. 4. Subaru 360 (1958). Os traigo al primer Subaru. Hay muchos modelos japoneses con motor trasero, muy desconocidos por estos lares, por eso he querido traer por lo menos uno y os traído este, del que se fabricaron casi 400.000 unidades y que permitió a Subaru afianzarse como marca. 5. Hino Contessa (1961). Hino es una empresa japonesa ahora propiedad de Toyota y que fabrica camiones. En 1953 fabricó en Japón y bajo licencia el Renault 4 CV, conocido como 4/4 en España. Hay varios modelos de Hino Contessa, de diseño Michelotti, inspiración americana, en el Corvair, un coche fracasado pero muy inspirador, y basado en la tecnología francesa… una verdadera rareza. 6. NSU Prinz 4 (1961). Me gusta especialmente la generación 4 inspirada en el Chevrolet Corvair americano… de hecho parece un encogido. Contaba con motor posterior de 535 cm3, de 2 cilindros y 4 tiempos que desarrollaba 35 CV… que no estaba nada mal. De hecho, es un coche que tuvo cierto éxito en competición para coches de menos de 750 cm3. 7. Hillman Imp (1963). Como se cuele decir, en este caso “el niño nació muerto”. ¿Por qué digo esto? Porque cuando se lanzó este modelo en 1963 el Mini llevaba muchos años en el mercado. Por calidad de realización, acabados y fiabilidad, el Imp era mejor. Pero por comportamiento estaba a otro nivel. Luego, además, por temas políticos, se trasladó su producción a Escocia y dejaron de ser tan buenos y fiables. 8. Renault 10 (1965). No he podido resistirme a incluir al olvidado R10, una versión alargada y más lujosa del R8. Renault quería competir en coches de la categoría superior al R8 y se le ocurrió alargar el citado R8 ¡Ojo!, los voladizos, porque la distancia entre ejes era la misma, pero se alargaba nada menos que 10 cm delante y 8 cm detrás. Pasaban varias cosas. En primer lugar, era más de lo mismo. En segundo, la habitabilidad era idéntica, aunque el maletero fuese algo mayor. Y tercero, curiosamente, al alargar el coche y con el capó plano, parecía más estrecho, Nunca fue percibido como un coche netamente superior al R8 y se puede decir que fue un fracaso. 9. Škoda Rapid (1980). Škoda tiene mucha tradición en coches con motor posterior. Este Rapid de 1980 fue de los últimos, pero un coche que yo probé y me sorprendió su calidad. Sabía que los checos eran buenos haciendo coches, aunque su tecnología estuviese, en esos años, algo anticuada. Era un coche con encanto, bien hecho, diferente… de los que Škoda ya no hace. Los hace mejores, pero no tan especiales. 10. Tata Nano (2008). El más moderno de la lista, que se fabricó hasta hace solo 6 años. Era un coche muy especial, un coche mínimo que debía ser muy práctico y muy, pero que muy barato. Y lo fue. Cuando se puso a la venta en la India, el precio de este coche era de alrededor de 1.500 €. Si lo hacemos en “euros constantes” teniendo en cuanto la inflación, estaríamos hablando de unos 3.000 €. O sea, muy barato. Tenía motor posterior de dos cilindros, 624 cm3 y 33 CV con un consumo homologado de alrededor de 4 litros a los 100 km. Conclusión. Me he dejado varios en la recámara, pero alguno de ellos saldrá en el video que desde ya estoy preparando de coches carismáticos con motor trasero, y os adelanto que alguno de esto también os va a sorprender. Coche del día. Como coche del día os traído un clásico del canal, un coche que me entusiasma porque no puede ser más raro, el Dymaxion. Es el único coche que conozco con motor posterior y tracción delantera y, además, dirección a la única rueda situada en el eje trasero… ¡este hecho al revés! Pero estará conmigo en que no puede ser más raro, más curioso y más atractivo.

TATA NANO A lo largo y ancho de la historia ha habido muchos coches considerados como "coches del pueblo", como el Vokswagen Beetle, el Fiat 500, o sin ir más lejos el Seat 600, por no meternos en territorio de la Europa del este. En este vídeo te cuento la historia de cómo RATAN TATA, el patriarca y controlador de TATA, un gigante industrial en la India, se impuso el reto de fabricar un coche que pudiera comprar la mayoría de la población adulta de su país para así convertirlo en el coche del pueblo indio. Pero siguiendo la frase hecha, en el proyecto del TATA Nano, el coche de los 1800 euros, todo lo que podía salir mal salió mal... incluidas ciertas lecciones, muy dolorosas, sobre la conveniencia de fabricar un coche tan barato respecto a las aspiraciones de los compradores de un vehículo de cuatro ruedas. En este podcast os cuento todas las claves, y qué fue todo lo que sucedió en este fracaso histórico, que se mantuvo en producción contra viento y marea hasta hace bien poco, justamente por eso. Porque era un sueño, y no era un sueño cualquiera. Era el sueño del hombre más poderoso de la India: RATAN TATA.

The Tata Nano was the cheapest car in the world for 10 years from 2008 to 2018. What does that kind of cost-cutting get you? What do you give up (hint, it's disc brakes), and is it any good? And which of the 21 versions was the best? Today Steve and Adam are leaving behind luxury cars and getting cheap and cheerful.
In this episode we discuss: - Recent IPO: ABNB (AirBnB), which has been generating huge returns on the Nasdaq. - The Toyota Supra made by BMW - The world's cheapest car - Tata Nano - Crazy Auctions: Titanic violin, Warren Buffett's car, cake from the royal wedding, 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO - Marketing fails: Ben & Jerry's with Black & Tan, Pepsi with Kendall Jenner, AND Facebooks VR Campaign
Tata Nano debut in the 9th Auto Expo at New Delhi, India on 2008. With lot of expectations, the World's cheapest car was dreamed and produced by TATA Motors. Listen this podcast to know the journey. Image by Alexander Gounder from Pixabay
Land laws and legislation are a labyrinth in India. They have historically posed nightmares for landholders and farmers who have been the victims of land-grab by the government using its eminent domain powers. Protests and agitation sparked by such incidents (such as the one against the Tata Nano factory in West Bengal) led to the 2013 Land Act being passed, replacing the archaic 1894 Law. However, some experts and economists feel that land is now too time-consuming, expensive, and cumbersome to acquire, which holds back economic growth.To help us navigate this labyrinth and such inherent tensions, I speak with a former veteran IAS bureaucrat and a current economics professor at NCAER- Dr. KP Krishnan. Dr. Krishnan has held in Secretary-level positions in crucial ministries such as Land Resources. He also holds a Ph.D. in Economics from IIM and has produced extensive literature on the issue of land's role in India's economy and related policy prescriptions. The bulk of the conversation related to such legislation revolves around Land Acquisition, aka the government's eminent domain powers over land. We start by unearthing the 2013 Land Act and understanding its impact on land-grab and whether it has come at the expense of economically beneficial land acquisitions. We discuss attempts of reform since the 2013 Act by the Modi government as well as State governments. Specifically, Dr. Krishnan, who was Additional Secretary of Land Resources between 2014 and 2017, helps shed light on why Modi's land reform attempts at the time went bust. Finally, as Dr. Krishnan mentions in the very first answer, there is an excessive focus on land acquisition. The real question is: why don't private markets work for land, as they do for labor or capital? We discuss in-depth one of the big reasons: poor titling and land records in a country where almost 90% of the land parcels face legal disputes. What are the solutions to this issue? Are there short-cuts we can take to expedite the process?Timestamps: 1. 0.00: Introduction2. 6.20: Contextualizing the 2013 Land Acquisition Act3. 10.05: There is an excessive focus on Land Acquisition.4. 16.15: Does the 2013 Act address the issue of land-grab and find the right balance?5. 23.00: Does the 2013 Act stifle economic activity?6. 37.35: Context behind the 2014/15 Modi govt land reform attempts. Why did they fail?7. 47.50: States like Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra have passed amendments in line with the 2014-15 Central level reform attempts. How has land acquisition and land-grab fared in such states?8. 51.40; Karnataka recently allowed farmers to sell their land to non-farmers. Is this the right move?9. 56.05: Why does a private market for land not exist? 10. 1.03.55: Impact of land titling and land market distortions on credit levels in India. What are the solutions?11. 1.08.00: NITI Aayog has a draft Land Titling law out focussed on conclusive land titling. Is this the right set of legislation needed to solve the problem?12. 1.10.30: Assessing the Digital India Land Records Modernization Program. Where are the successes and what's further needed?13. 1.13.40: A Nifty solution to the issue of land records using data from financial institutions/lenders.14. 1.18.00: What would your plea be for the government to focus on now?

This episode is dedicated to the car industry which is on a high. Toyota launched its first car in the small car category and has roped in A R Rahman as its brand ambassador. The words, 'General Motors' and 'quarterly profits' could never be used in the better part of this decade. But GM India has other plans. It has invested 200 million in India. Tata Nano, however, is dealing with a massive recall as the cars would catch fire if they exceed a particular speed limit.
