Tata Motors’ network presence is predominantly ‘urban’, making it
difficult to effectively tap rural markets, critical for the SCV segment.

population*
24% of TML Outlets are in Rural locations
(sub 50,000 population)

4. Hence, we started exploring options to expand our rural reach…
Two options for entering rural markets
Growing organically by setting up new sales outlets in rural areas – traditional way
Growing inorganically through strategic partnerships with existing rural players
thereby outsourcing demand capturing/generation.
…this was the genesis for Project NEEV
