The commentators are not always right! Most people confuse themselves and unknowingly confuse others too.
The fact is that Tata Motors occupies 5th position in Global Automobile maker and 31st position in fortune 500 list as the most regarded company ( all industries rank) . Market cap can not be taken as bench mark as a lot of factors varies from country to country which determines stock price. The most important factor with Tata Group is the ESG…CSR…and I am sure in the coming days …ESG is going to determine the share price… they make enough profit in every business such that All stake holders are taken care of…yes, you may find their ROCE and ROE may be less in some Tata companies …there are many external factors such as economy, business climate etc etc…which influence various business
The confusion arises as some people refer Tata Motors (TML) as a Car maker, some say Tata Motors means JLR, others mean Tata Motors as a EV car maker , in Delhi people say that TML is the largest CNG Bus maker because they see 10,000 CNG buses running in and around Delhi- in fact TML occupies No 1 slot globally in CNG buses In terms of numbers.
However , Very few know that Tata Motors makes every kind of Automobiles except 2 wheelers & Farm tractors.
Very few companies in the world make such a wide range starting from small pick-ups, SCV, LCV, ICV, MCV, HCV, Tractor trailer , tippers, dumpers to economy mini cars like Nano ( though discontinued recently), SUV’s, Luxury cars like JLR and of course it is one of the fastest EV car maker - when I say fastest …the speed at which they are ramping up production of EV cars …and there is a waiting period today…and the kind of EV infrastructure they are creating with Tata Power, Tata chemical, Tata Elexi …unthinkable …non stoppable …unique in the whole world…
Every Tata company is unique in its own kind…TCS being the largest employer in the world for the last 6 consecutive years.
Tata group employs more than All leading companies together …it has more employees than Toyota, Coke, Facebook, Microsoft & Google combined,…
Tata chemicals among top 3 largest Soda ash maker…any way I can go on and on…
Discl: I may be bit biased since I am holding all Tata stocks …I have also worked with Tata’s for more than 30 years
