Future of AWD in Tata's portfolioOn the subject of all-wheel drive (AWD), Srivatsa candidly acknowledged a gap in Tata's current lineup. 'The last AWD vehicle we had was the Hexa, which we phased out in 2019. The AWD segment is less than 5% of the market, but our SUVs have always been known for performance. So we're bringing AWD back in a modern, electrified form,' he AWD is currently being rolled out in Tata's EV offerings like the Harrier EV, Srivatsa hinted that the technology may also make its way into future ICE vehicles, depending on consumer response. 'We'll assess the take rate, and it can probably be extended to ICE models as well,' he said. This could very well mean that the iCE variants of the Tata Harrier and the Tata Safari, and the upcoming Tata Sierra could very well be offered with AWD technology in the near EV consumer expectationsWhen asked about the current state and trajectory of India's electric vehicle market, Srivatsa noted a significant shift in consumer mindset. 'If you go back three years, the primary questions were about cost of operation, EV pricing versus ICE, and charging access. Today, many of those questions are answered,' he said. With the charging infrastructure expanding and products like the Harrier EV offering strong value, Tata believes consumers now expect more than just price parity—they want greater performance and chain and rare earth magnets concernAddressing concerns around rare earth materials and EV supply chains, Srivatsa acknowledged the challenges posed by geopolitical factors but remained optimistic. 'Yes, there is a little bit of concern, but we are confident that between the industry and the government, these issues will be resolved,' he to Auto Today Magazine
