It builds on their existing partnership and will examine additional opportunities within the current joint venture framework.
The companies jointly operate Fiat India Automobiles Private Limited (FIAPL), a 50:50 venture that employs nearly 5,000 people and has the capacity to produce 222,000 vehicles annually.
Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles managing director & CEO Shailesh Chandra said: “Our partnership with Stellantis through FIAPL reflects the strength of a long-standing collaboration built on trust, shared values and a common vision. We look forward to deepening this relationship with Stellantis in the years ahead.”
Since the JV’s establishment, the venture has manufactured more than 1.37 million units.
Production at the FIAPL facility currently includes four Jeep models alongside three models from Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles.
According to the companies, combining Stellantis’ global capabilities with Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles’ domestic expertise has supported the venture’s capabilities in manufacturing, powertrain and supply chain functions.
Stellantis Asia Pacific chief operating officer Gregoire Olivier said: “FIAPL stands as a testament to what two strong organisations can achieve together. As we commemorate this milestone, we remain focused on evolving the partnership to support future-ready manufacturing, innovation, and sustainable growth in the region.”
Separately, in December 2025, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), owned by Tata Motors, began trials of drone-based inspections at its Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre in Wolverhampton.
The pilot involves the use of the Elios 3 drone developed by Flyability, designed to reach elevated and confined spaces.
The approach enables maintenance teams to inspect equipment from ground level rather than using raised platforms.
In a separate development last week, Stellantis announced it expects to record around €22.2bn ($26.32bn) in charges in the second half of 2025 as part of restructuring measures and adjustments to its electric-vehicle strategy.
