Chandra said that there would be improved partnerships with other group entities, including Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) going ahead to improve capabilities.

There is a lot of partnership that will happen with various Tata companies, including JLR. So capabilities will not be restricted to Tata Motors but also to see the opportunities of synergies with JLR and other Tata firms, which have a lot of capability in the software area.

Chandra said the company has begun to develop capabilities in the battery packs, motor design, and new architecture area, among other essential functionalities.

The company is trying to see where potential synergies can be in the area of the motor as far as in the area of batteries, particularly the chemistry that the firm would like to select, the form factors, and the CE rating because of the fast-charging capability and all.

He said there are specific areas where the auto major has witnessed convergence, especially small commercial vehicles and the fleet segment and PVs.
