Our enhanced investment reaffirms Tata Motors’ commitment to not only powering India’s logistics infrastructure, but also shaping its digital future by enabling smarter, more connected, and customer-centric freight operations for businesses and consumers,” he said.

Freight Tiger now serves major Indian corporations across steel, cement, consumer goods, automotive, construction, and e-commerce sectors, including Saint-Gobain, JSW Steel, Asian Paints, Amul, Birla Pivot, Apollo Tyres, and Zepto.
