Current Score
Strongly Indian
Our Verdict: The Tiago is highly localized, meaning almost every part is made in India. The engine, platform, and final assembly are all Indian. The only main import is the battery cells (from China) used in the electric version.
How it's Sourced: The Tiago is built at Tata's factory in Sanand, Gujarat, using a frame designed in India. Its petrol engines and gearboxes are made locally. The electric version uses battery packs put together by Tata AutoComp, though the battery cells inside them are imported from Gotion in China.
