Today is also the company's National Customer Care Day, when channel partners, staff and customers are felicitated and recognised by the company for their long association and contribution to Tata Motors.
October 23 is even more memorable for the company because commemorates the sale of Tata Motors first truck, which rolled out from its Jamshedpur plant in 1954 on the same day. Set up in 1945, Tata Motors Jamshedpur started with manufacturing steam locomotives, later foraying into truck manufacturing, bringing global trucking technology to India in 1954.
Since then, Tata Motors’ Jamshedpur plant has been modernised consistently, with a particularly intense scale in the last 15 years, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and assembly lines to produce a truck every five minutes. The facility assembles over 200 Tata Motors Medium and Heavy Commercial (M&HCV) models, for varied movement of equipment, raw materials, goods and services, across distances, catering to millions of Indians every day.
Enhanced focus on customer satisfaction
