At the 2016 Auto Expo, the competitors of Tata Motors increased in number, and their products too were very good. This meant, Tata Motors had their work cut out for them, and they pulled it off in style. The designers at Tata Motors showed-off their creativity by displaying the following vehicles at the Auto Expo this year with the newest range of special accessories and body kits. Here’s a brief:
