the entry of competitors like Maruti Suzuki.

in 1998, becoming a major player in the passenger car segment.

- Tata Motors showed significant recovery in the 2020s by focusing on electric vehicles.

5. Conclusion:

and increased competition. On the other hand, Tata Motors has thrived by diversifying its product

offerings and adapting to changing market conditions, particularly with its emphasis on electric

vehicles and sustainability.
