Tata Motors's product line-up includes bullet-proof troop carriers, armoured buses, mine-protected vehicles, mobile hospital, water bowser and even unmanned aerial vehicle launchers, among several other things.

Tata Motors (TML) Chairman N Chandrasekaran said on August 25 that the company aimed to reduce its total debt to near-zero levels in three years and generate free cash flows from FY22 onwards.

Chandrasekaran, while addressing shareholders at Tata Motors' 75th annual general meeting, said the company would also look to unlock non-core investments in order to deleverage the business.

Founded in 1886, Tata Motors is a leading global automobile manufacturing company. Its portfolio includes a range of cars, sports utility vehicles, trucks, buses and defence vehicles.
