Tata Motors looks to expand sales outlets in small cities

New Delhi Tata Motors is looking to expand sales outlets in Tier II and Tier III cities in order to cater to the increased demand for its electric model range from such locations, according to a top company executive.

The company, which ended the first quarter with sales of around 19,000 electric vehicle units, is also looking to have a separate sales infrastructure for its electric vehicle portfolio going ahead. In an analyst call, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Managing Director Shailesh Chandra noted that EV adoption is now growing beyond the top 20 cities in the country. "With the bias now moving to other parts of the countr.that's a good sign in terms of how the EV sales will grow from here," he said. With the launch of Tiago EV, there has been a shift in terms of micro markets now, Chandra said. He noted that more than 49 per cent of the Tiago EV sales were now coming in from other than the top 20 cities, he added.
