As India’s biggest firm, Tata has many competitive advantages, including vast financial resources and access to capital on favorable terms; strong corporate image; connections with countless high-quality business partners; competitive cost structure, thanks to the huge, low-cost Indian labor pool; and long-standing relationships with national and state governments in India. In the auto industry, Tata Motors’ reputation is growing. It counts on sister subsidiary Tata Steel to continuously provide steel to manufacture Nanos and other cars, a key advantage. The purchase of Corus Group, in addition to increasing steel capacity, also greatly expanded Tata’s access to automakers across Europe and the United States.
