Stellantis and Tata Motors agree to build vehicles for global markets

what happened

Newsmetry API reports that Stellantis and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TPMV) have signed a definitive agreement to manufacture vehicles in India. The cars will use Tata Motors’ platforms and technology and be shipped to more than 50 countries under Stellantis brands, including Jeep and Citroen.

The first product will be a new Jeep SUV built on the Argos architecture, which currently supports Tata Motors’ Sierra SUV. The companies said the platform can support vehicles of different dimensions and a range of powertrain applications. Stellantis’ product development and engineering teams in India will adapt the architecture for the project.

Production will take place at the Ranjangaon facility in Pune through Fiat India Automobiles Pvt Ltd (FIAPL), the existing equal joint venture of TMPV and Stellantis. The deal follows a February 2026 memorandum of understanding covering possible cooperation in manufacturing, engineering and supply chains in India and overseas. The companies said the arrangement builds on more than two decades of cooperation and is intended to strengthen India’s export role.

why it matters

The agreement deepens India’s role in Stellantis’ international production and development network while giving the Jeep brand access to Tata Motors’ local vehicle architecture and engineering base.
