File:Мел-кий моторный завод.JPGTata Daewoo (officially Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company and formerly Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company) is a commercial vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do South Korea, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Motors. It is the second-largest heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer in South Korea and was acquired by Tata Motors in 2004. The principal reasons behind the acquisition were to reduce Tata's dependence on the Indian commercial vehicle market (which was responsible for around 94% of its sales in the MHCV segment and around 84% in the light commercial vehicle segment) and expand its product portfolio by leveraging on Daewoo's strengths in the heavy-tonnage sector.

Tata Motors has jointly worked with Tata Daewoo to develop trucks such as Novus and World Truck and buses including GloBus and StarBus. In 2012, Tata began developing a new line to manufacture competitive and fuel-efficient commercial vehicles to face the competition posed by the entry of international brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Navistar into the Indian market.{{cite news| url= http://www.thehindu.com/business/companies/article3636216.ece| title= Tatas readying new line of CVs to take on competition| date= 14 July 2012| access-date= 14 July 2012| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120717030323/http://www.thehindu.com/business/companies/article3636216.ece| archive-date= 17 July 2012| url-status= live}}

The Jaguar Land Rover subsidiary was struggling by 2019 and Tata Motors wrote down its investment in JLR by $3.9 billion. Much of the financial problem was due to a 50% drop in sales in China during 2019, although the situation was improving. Still, Tata was open to considering a partnership with another company according to a statement in mid-October, as long as the partnership agreement would allow Tata to maintain control of the business. The company ruled out the possibility of a sale of JLR to another entity.{{cite web |last1=Trudell |first1=Craig |last2=Coppola |first2=Gabrielle |last3=Kotoky |first3=Anurag |date=15 October 2019 |title=Tata Looks for Jaguar Land Rover Partners, but Rules Out Sale |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-15/tata-chairman-awaiting-brexit-deal-says-tariffs-are-new-normal |url-access=subscription |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191017184321/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-15/tata-chairman-awaiting-brexit-deal-says-tariffs-are-new-normal |archive-date=17 October 2019 |work=Bloomberg}}

File:Tata Nano im Verkehrszentrum des Deutschen Museums.JPG is often cited as the world's most affordable car]]

The Nano was launched in 2009 as a city car intended to appeal as an affordable alternative to the section of the Indian populace that is primarily the owner of motorcycles and has not bought their first car. Initially priced at ₹100,000 (US$1,500), the vehicle attracted a lot of attention for its relatively low price. However, the Nano was very poorly rated for safety{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/jan/31/tata-nano-safety-crash-test-results |title=Tata Nano safety under scrutiny after dire crash test results|work=Guardian|date=31 January 2014|access-date=9 September 2017}}{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/video/2014/jan/31/tata-nano-fails-crash-test-video |title=Tata Nano falls short of global crash test standards – video|work=Guardian|date=31 January 2014|access-date=9 September 2017}} and in 2018, Cyrus Mistry, chairman of the Tata Group, called the Tata Nano a failed project, with production ending in May 2018.{{cite news |title=Air Asia Case Puts Spotlight Once Again on Cyrus Mistry's 'Legacy Hotspots' |url=https://thewire.in/business/air-asia-tata-cyrus-mistry |access-date=5 June 2018 |publisher=The Wire |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180709185900/https://thewire.in/business/air-asia-tata-cyrus-mistry |archive-date=9 July 2018 |url-status=live }}

{{Main|Tata Ace}}

File:Tata Ace EX2 (21729583101).jpg

Tata Ace, India's first indigenously developed sub-one-ton minitruck, was launched in May 2005. The minitruck was a huge success in India with auto analysts claiming that Ace had changed the dynamics of the light commercial vehicle (LCV) market in the country by creating a new market segment termed the small commercial vehicle segment. Ace rapidly emerged as the first choice for transporters and single truck owners for city and rural transport.

By October 2005, LCV sales of Tata Motors had grown by 36.6% to 28,537 units due to the rising demand for Ace. The Ace was built with a load body produced by Autoline Industries.{{cite web|url=http://www.autolineind.com/our_story.htm|title=Autoline - A Stamp of Perfection|date=9 February 2008|access-date=27 September 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080209022809/http://www.autolineind.com/our_story.htm|archive-date=9 February 2008}}

By 2005, Autoline was producing 300 load bodies per day for Tata Motors. Ace is still a top seller for TML with 500,000 units sold by June 2010.{{cite web |url=http://www.autolineind.com/our_story.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080209022809/http://www.autolineind.com/our_story.htm |archive-date=9 February 2008 |title=tatamotors |publisher=Tatamotors |date=14 March 2012 |access-date=8 August 2012 |url-status=dead }} In 2011, Tata Motors invested Rs 1000 crore in Dharwad Plant, Karnataka, with the capacity of 90,000 units annually and launched two models of 0.5-T capacity as Tata Ace Zip, Magic Iris.{{cite web|url=http://www.autolineind.com/our_story.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080209022809/http://www.autolineind.com/our_story.htm |archive-date=9 February 2008 |title=Autoline|date=9 February 2008 |access-date=11 October 2010}} Ace has also been exported to several Asian, European, South American, and African countries and all-electric models are sold through Polaris Industries' Global Electric Motorcars division. In Sri Lanka, it is sold through Diesel & Motor Engineering (DIMO) PLC under the name of DIMO Batta.
