rajkotupdates.news Celebrating 25 years of the Tata Indica car, Ratan Tata said: “It brings back memories and holds a special place in my heart.”
The Tata Indica was India’s first indigenously developed passenger car that launched the passenger vehicle division of Tata Motors.
Ratan Tata is a man who needs no introduction. Ratan Tata, chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, who shaped the Tata group, is known for his philanthropic ventures, humility and random acts of kindness.

The veteran businessman shared a picture with the Tata Indica and captioned it, “Twenty-five years ago, the launch of the Tata Indica marked the birth of India’s indigenous passenger car industry.
It brings back memories and holds a special place in my heart.”
ata Indica launched the passenger vehicle division of Tata Motors. Designed and developed in India, the car was launched in 1998 and also paved the way for a host of small cars in the company’s range, from the Indigo to the Vista and Manza models.

One user said, “Tata is not just a brand! It’s the sentiments of India,” while another commented, “Indeed, a very beautiful car was made for us Indians.
My father got his first generation Tata Indica in 1998, the year I was just one year old. Later, we upgraded it with Tata Indica V2 in 2005.
This is not just a car for me and a few others; There are a lot of feelings and emotions involved. Ah the iconic INDICA. Still remember the tagline, “More cars per car”. We have only immense respect and love for you, Sir Ratan Tata!”
