Everything look great then why Tata Motors struggling in the market to gain or even maintain its current or earlier position. Did you think about product value proposition or its new segment entrance? The company sales affected due to in mainly three reasons, first its traditional segment started to face tough competition & company could not react as fast as it should, its new segment is having different brand perception for premium product, Could not penetrate ooverseas market entry & delay to adopt latest technology.

Car segment:
Tata Motors create the USP of few of its models. Its recent launched models Tata Bolt and Zest could not perform as per expectation due to value proposition what other competitors are offering. Product life, Comfort, Safety, Price, Repair and Maintenance cost, resale value, Brand value and customer preference parameters.
One time, Tata was market leader in SUV/MUV segment but now its struggling due to no new suitable products. It is failure of company strategy to forecast market trend and competitor scenario in coming up years specailly when India decided to go with open economy option. It is expected that new SUV which is coming on land Rover plateform will create some good space in this segment.
Truck Range:
In truck segment, Tata is still market leader. This is complete different game compare to Passenger vehicle. The Prima launched did not not work out to enter into Premium segment category due to TCO and brand perception. This is again failure of company strategy to go with heavy promotion instead of product development and spend in R&D. A per our survey people would start to consider the brand while purchasing new truck but it does not play major role in final decision. Just to consider for short list, Tata do not need to spend heavy amount on promotion.
