TATA.ev enters the Mauritius market, expanding its global presence

TATA.ev, the electric vehicle division of Tata Motors, is expanding its global operations by entering the Mauritius market with automobile distributor Allied Motors. This is the company’s first project outside of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) region. In that regard, bilateral electric vehicle (EV) exports from India are likely to increase in the next few years, with companies such as Maruti Suzuki planning to export its e-Vitara to nearly 100 countries. The automobile manufacturer will introduce three EV models - Tiago.ev, Punch.ev, and Nexon.ev - to the Mauritius market.

Commenting on the significance of the expansion, Yash Khandelwal, head of international business at Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, stated, “Mauritius holds strategic importance in our EV journey, marking our first international expansion beyond the SAARC region. TATA.ev is well-positioned to support the country’s transition to electric mobility. Our range of EVs, combined with the partnership of Allied Motors, sets the stage for a transformative shift in Mauritius' automotive landscape.”

Speaking on the partnership, James Ngan, managing director of Allied Motors, stated, “Our partnership with TATA.ev, backed by our extensive service and after-sales support, brings a range of electric vehicles to a country that is ready to embrace sustainable and innovative mobility solutions.”
