Tata Motors, one of the leading names in the Indian automotive industry, has announced that it has achieved a new milestone in the country. The homegrown carmaker has produced over 4 million passenger vehicles in India ever since it entered the genre back in 1988. The 4 millionth car to roll out from the company’s manufacturing facility was the very good-looking Tata Altroz premium hatchback.
