It also showcased the '45X concept' - the premium hatchback based on the versatile 'Agile Light Flexible Advanced' Architecture.

"We are making a serious commitment towards innovation and investment in the launch of a full range of products that will connect with the aspirations of our customers," he added.

Tata Motors CEO & MD Guenter Butschek said the company’s display outlines its plans for the future of India’s Smart Cities and its connected generation.

"Our...pavilion has been designed keeping the future Smart Cities and emerging market trends in mind.

“Our exhibits are a clear indication of our capability to meet the growing aspirations of our customers," he added.

With a view on the government’s vision for all electric vehicles by 2030, Tata Motors is displaying an extended range of six EV products in personal and mass mobility segments.

These include 12m Electric Bus with a smart bus stop and passenger carriers - the Magic EV and the Iris EV.

The Tiago EV, the Tigor EV and the Racemo EV were also showcased as special Auto Expo edition.

These affirm the company’s endeavour to facilitate faster adoption of electric vehicles, to build a sustainable future for India, Tata Motors said.

The company also announced its new design language 'IMPACT 2.0' for PVs and for CVs, 'Premium Tough', reflecting "a sense of purpose coupled with strength and quality".
