PRODUCTS AND SERVICES:


Commercial Vehicles:

In 2004, Tata Motors acquired Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company of South Korea. The reasons behind the acquisition were:

The Tata Prima heavy truck Company's global plans to reduce domestic exposure. The domestic commercial vehicle market is highly cyclical in nature and prone to fluctuations in the domestic economy. Tata Motors has a high domestic exposure of ~94% in the MHCV segment and ~84% in the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment. Since the domestic commercial vehicle sales of the company are at the mercy of the structural economic factors, it is increasingly looking at the international markets. The company plans to diversify into various markets across the world in both MHCV as well as LCV segments. To expand the product portfolio Tata Motors recently introduced the 25MT GVW Tata Novus from Daewoos (South Korea) (TDCV) platform. Tata plans to leverage on the strong presence of TDCV in the heavy-tonnage range and introduce products in India at an appropriate time. This was mainly to cater to the international market and also to cater to the domestic market where a major improvement in the Road infrastructure was done through the National Highway Development Project. Tata Daewoo is the second-largest heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer in South Korea. Tata Motors has jointly worked with Tata Daewoo to develop trucks such as Novus and World Truck and buses including GloBus and StarBus. In 2012, Tata will start developing a new line to

manufacture competitive and fuel efficient commercial vehicles to face the competition posed by the entry of international brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Navistar into the Indian market.[21] Tata Hispano Tata Hispano Motors Carrocera, S.A. is a bus and coach cabin manufacturer based in Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Motors. Tata Hispano has plants in Zaragoza, Spain and Casablanca, Morocco. Tata Motors first acquired a 21% stake in Hispano Carrocera SA in 2005,[7] and acquired the remaining 79% for an undisclosed sum in 2009, making it a fully owned subsidiary, subsequently renamed Tata Hispano. Jaguar Land Rover

Jaguar Land Rover PLC is a British premium automaker headquartered in Whitley, Coventry, United Kingdom and has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Motors since June 2008, when it was acquired from Ford Motor Company. Its principal activity is the development, manufacture and sale of Jaguar luxury and sports cars and Land Rover premium four wheel drive vehicles. It also owns the currently dormant Daimler, Lanchester and Rover brands. Jaguar Land Rover has two design centres and three assembly plants in the UK. Under Tata ownership, Jaguar Land Rover has launched new vehicles including the Range Rover Evoque, Jaguar F-Type and the fourth-generation Range Rover. HV Transmission and HV Axles

HV Transmission (HVTL) and HV Axles (HVAL) are 100% subsidiary companies of Tata Motors engaged in the business of manufacture of gear boxes and axles for heavy and medium commercial vehicles, with production facilities and infrastructure based at Jamshedpur. HVAL and HVTL have been amalgamated ton HVAL and is renamed as TML Drivelines Ltd. ranked 314th in the 2012 Fortune Global 500 ranking of the world's biggest corporations.

SERVICES VEHICLE LEASING


Vehicle Leasing offers advantages to both buyers and sellers. For the buyer, lease payments will usually be lower than payments on a car loan would be, and qualification is often easier. Some consumers may prefer leasing as it allows them to simply return a car and select a new model when the lease expires, allowing a consumer to drive a new vehicle every few years without the

responsibility of selling the old vehicle. A lessee does not have to worry about the future value of the vehicle, while a vehicle owner does. For a business lessor there are tax advantages to be considered. For the seller, leasing generates income from a vehicle the seller still owns and will be able to lease again or sell through vehicle remarketing once the original (or primary) lease has expired. As consumers will typically use a leased vehicle for a shorter period of time than one they buy outright, leasing may generate repeat customers more quickly, which may fit into various aspects of a dealer's business model. Lease agreement Lease agreements typically stipulate an early termination fee and limit the number of miles a lessee can drive (for passenger cars, a common number is 10,000 miles per annum though the amount can be stipulated by the customer and can be 12,000 to 15,000 miles per year). If the mileage allowance is exceeded, fees may apply. Dealers will typically allow a lessee to negotiate a higher mileage allowance, for a higher lease payment. Lease agreements usually specify how much wear on the vehicle is allowable, and the lessee may face a fee if that amount of wear has been exceeded. A lease with maintenance (commonly known in the UK as Contract Hire) can include all vehicle running costs excluding fuel and insurance. The actual lease payments are calculated in a very similar way to loan payments, but instead of an APR, the company uses something called the money factor. At the end of a lease's term, the lessee must either return the vehicle to or buy it from the owner. The end of lease price is usually agreed upon when the lease is signed.

BMC SOFTWARES:
The highly respected Tata Motors Ltd. has a strong tradition of entrepreneurship. The companys business strategy calls for reaching beyond the borders of India to enter new markets for its Nano, the innovative small car for the urban middle class. One of the major drivers of success at Tata Motors Ltd. (TML) is its ability to fully exploit information technology to drive business goals. The company was an early adopter of CAD and CAM systems to speed the design of the Nano. The company also uses Siebel Systems to manage its vast customer relationship network and SAP for all critical business services, such as logistics, supplier relations management, customer relationship management, human resources (HR), and finance. According to Probir Mitra, Chief Information Officer at TML, IT is an integral part of every business process from design to delivery and the power of IT has been extensively leveraged for the Nano project. The design processes used more digital content than ever before. State-of-the-art CAD and CAM services integrated design across multiple disciplines, making it possible for our designers to harness and benefit from their inherent ability to innovate. IT helped the company shrink the design cycle time. He adds that BSM tools from BMC Software played a key role in tracking and controlling all components of IT services and automating the management of the IT infrastructure which is

vital to the design and planning for manufacture of the Nano as well as running day-to-day business processes.

EXCELLENCE IN OUTSOURCING:
Following its strategy of outsourcing noncore activities, TML has outsourced its IT applications to Tata Technologies Ltd. and its IT infrastructure to IBM. The outsourcing decision has proven to be a wise one. TML reaped significant benefits through the outsourcing initiatives. TML was recognized in 2007 and conferred the SAP Ace award for its SRM & Warehouse Management implementations. It also received the Uptime Championship Award at the CIO 100 event in the same year. Initially, the outsourcing approach posed several challenges. Technology silos were performing adequately. However, a flexible service-oriented management framework was required to link the silos and provide a comprehensive a view of the IT landscape underlying a given business process. To make this framework a reality, TML decided to adopt IT service management concepts outlined in the ISO 20000:05 international standards, as well as best practices outlined in the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL ) Version 3. In addition, the company decided to establish a serviceoriented management architecture that treated IT services as assets and managed them on a lifecycle basis. Geography

Tata Motors Ltd. PUTTING BMC SOLUTIONS TO WORK


BMC provided visibility into the entirety of services components across business process chains. It also integrated the various IT service management disciplines into a single, unified solution, Mitra says. TML started with the out-of-the-box capabilities of the BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite to establish a baseline of the IT application and infrastructure landscape across all technology pillars. The company used the applications embedded ITIL-compatible controls without modification to define roles, responsibilities, and authorities required in the support groups. TML realized immediate benefits from the transition to the BMC applications, which served as the software framework for managing the interactions and process relationships among all the support groups managing the IT infrastructure underlying business services. A service-oriented organizational structure was designed and configured in the BMC Remedy applications. Mitra worked with two vendors to recast processes to achieve a business service orientation. A major innovation in the configuration is the use of logical architectural definitions for the support group infrastructure. Logical role names for technical support staff login allowed uniformity of definitions across the entire support community regardless of whether the employee is internal to TML or outsourced. The naming convention encompasses competency levels that enable the incident coordinator

to assign tickets based on complexity. This feature has real value in a multisite support group where names by themselves mean very little. Service managers can now plan staffing on the basis of competencies and have a transparent view of support staff effort and load across locations.

SERVICE-ORIENTED AGREEMENTS :
As CIO, Mitras goal was to measure the availability and effectiveness of service in terms that the customers could recognize not from the perspective of the diverse technology components and technology pillars that comprise the service (as it had in the past). BMC Service Level Management provided the high level of transparency required to construct and support service level agreements (SLAs) that are described purely in business terms. Service requests among support groups managing different domains were put in place and a new set of agreements were defined and tested. The concept of subtickets was introduced to minimize ticket bounces. The transparency that this introduced improved collaboration among support groups. BMC Service Level Management has allowed us to consolidate and track multiple service windows across the country, streamline our vendor contracts, and enhance our ability to conduct meaningful contract reviews that focus on improvement, says Mr. S. Dole, Tata Technologies practice manager for system integration and networking. A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT FOR IT SERVICES: TML used BMC Remedy Service Desk and the end-user console to establish an outsourced IT service desk that is the single point of contact between the IT user community and the IT service providers. This new service desk consolidated more than 25 different help desks across the

country, making it simple and straightforward for users to get assistance and report problems. This also helps to project a single unified face of IT to the customers although multiple IT service providers are involved in the complete services to the customer. An innovative, segregation-of-duties approach ensures that the vendor providing a particular service is not also responsible for tracking and reporting on that service. This was done by creating a special group within the IT service desk for ensuring satisfactory closure of tickets and monitoring status of paused tickets. TML is required to be SOX compliant. Statutory requirements for ensuring segregation of responsibilities were met by allocating responsibilities for recording, classification, and routing by one vendor, and closing verification, customer satisfaction assurance, and performance reporting by another. The service desk design and the flexibility of configuration features available in the BMC applications have given us a lot of peace of mind, Dole says. By segregating responsibilities for incident response and incident closure verification, we can ensure that the service performance reports from our vendors have the reliability and accuracy required for stakeholders to agree on service levels achieved. This goes a long way in our ability to manage multiple third-party vendors in a transparent and effective manner.
