Stellantis to Build India-Made Vehicles on Tata Motors Platform

what happened

Newsmetry API reports that Stellantis has signed a definitive agreement with Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV) to produce vehicles in India. TMPV will give Stellantis access to its product technology and vehicle architecture, while Stellantis’ product development and engineering teams in India will adapt them for exports to more than 50 countries under Stellantis’ own brands. The company’s Indian brands include Jeep and Citroen.

The first vehicle will be a new Jeep SUV based on Tata Motors’ Argos platform, which currently supports its Sierra SUV. According to a joint statement, the architecture can accommodate different vehicle sizes and powertrain applications. Production will take place at the Fiat India Automobiles Pvt Ltd (FIAPL) plant in Ranjangaon, Pune. FIAPL is an existing equal joint venture between TMPV and Stellantis.

The agreement builds on a memorandum of understanding signed in February 2026. That document explored cooperation in manufacturing, engineering and supply chains in India and overseas. The companies said the definitive pact turns that intention into a specific collaboration on vehicle technology and architecture, using India’s engineering capabilities and manufacturing scale to support exports.
