In 1991, a new landmark was achieved with the launch of Tata Sierra, India’s first home-grown sports utility vehicle (SUV), completely designed and manufactured locally. Through seamless cross-collaboration, multiple teams played a pivotal role in putting the country on the path of self-reliance, thus achieving a historic milestone in India’s automobile industry.
