Autocar Professional’s September 1, 2024 issue is out!

From the brink of selling stake in the car business just ahead of Covid-19 to stay afloat to scaling to the number three position independently, it has been a storied turnaround for Tata Motors. What's more, the maker of Nexon raced ahead in the EV space and was able to raise a billion dollars in the EV biz at a whopping valuation of over USD 9 billion. 

The captain of this extraordinary journey has been chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran, who recounts his experiences, and vision, in a one-of-its-kind interview with Hormazd Sorabjee, Editor of Autocar India. 

We also look at Mahindra & Mahindra, which has its own turnaround story. The maker of Scorpio and XUV700 recently unveiled Thar Roxx — a lifestyle SUV — to break into the mainstream, mid-size SUV segment. We analyse whether M&M will be able to sustain its momentum with Thar Roxx and how Rajesh Jejurikar, ED and CEO of M&M’s auto business, intends to make this model a success. 

This is also our North India special, and we have an interview with N K Minda, the Chairman of Uno Minda, on the company’s future vision and growth plans. 

We also have stories on Sonalika Group’s Rs 1,000 crore bet on EVs and its plans for the electric quadricycle market. We also look at how Stellantis India wants to revamp its India strategy under new MD and CEO Shailesh Hazela.
