Stellantis and Tata Motors agree on India-based global vehicle supply

what happened

Newsmetry API reports that Stellantis has signed a definitive agreement with Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV) to make vehicles in India using TMPV platforms. The vehicles will be supplied to more than 50 countries under Stellantis’ own brands, which include Jeep and Citroen in India.

TMPV will give Stellantis access to its advanced product technology and vehicle architecture. Stellantis will adapt the technology through its product-development and engineering teams in India. The first vehicle is planned as a new Jeep SUV based on Tata Motors’ Argos platform, currently used by the Sierra SUV. The companies said the architecture can support different vehicle sizes and powertrain configurations.

Production will take place at the Ranjangaon, Pune plant operated by FIAPL, the existing equal joint venture of TMPV and Stellantis. The deal follows a memorandum of understanding signed in February 2026 to examine cooperation in manufacturing, engineering and supply chains in India and overseas. Shailesh Chandra described the relationship as more than two decades old and built on trust, while Tianshu Xin said partnerships are central to Stellantis’ value creation across the Asia-Pacific region.
