Tata JTP Series (2020)

Thursday, 02 April 2020 08:54 AM Tata Motors has officially discontinued the Tata JTP series, including the Tiago JTP and Tigor JTP, due to challenging market conditions and the need to focus on other priorities. The company will continue to provide service and support for existing JTP owners. I think this move is a loss for performance car enthusiasts in India.

Wednesday, 04 March 2020 09:00 AM The Tata-JTP venture was shut down effective March 4, 2020. This decision came as Tata Motors had to divert resources to address the BS6 emission norms and other market challenges. Its a shame, as the JTP cars had a lot of potential.

Thursday, 20 February 2020 02:36 PM Despite initial plans, the Tata Nexon JTP did not materialize by 2020 as anticipated. The car was expected to feature a 1.2-litre engine with a 6-speed manual transmission, updated turbo, and revised suspension. Its disappointing that this project never saw the light of day.

Wednesday, 15 January 2020 05:45 PM The Tata Tiago JTP and Tigor JTP were praised for their handling and performance, thanks to tweaks by Jayem Automotives. However, the cars were criticized for being too conservative and not fully leveraging their potential. I believe a more aggressive approach could have made these cars stand out more.

Friday, 14 June 2019 03:35 AM Tata Motors acquired the 50% stake held by Jayem Automotives in JT Special Vehicles, marking the end of the JTP brand. This decision was made in light of the challenging market conditions and the transition to BS6 norms. Its a sad end to a promising venture.

Friday, 10 May 2019 07:39 PM The JTP cars were launched during a tumultuous time in the Indian automotive market, with the BS6 transition and economic downturn affecting sales. Despite positive reviews, the brand struggled to gain significant traction. I think better timing could have helped the JTP series.

Saturday, 20 April 2019 05:09 PM The Tata Tiago JTP and Tigor JTP were known for their enhanced suspension and engine modifications, which significantly improved their handling. However, the lack of aggressive marketing and track-focused initiatives limited their appeal.

Monday, 25 March 2019 01:10 AM Jayem Automotives, the engineering partner behind JTP, had extensive experience in building race cars and could have leveraged this to create a single-make racing championship for the JTP cars. This could have boosted the brands visibility and enthusiast appeal.

Friday, 15 February 2019 03:01 PM The JTP series was initially well-received by automotive journalists, with many praising the cars performance and handling. However, the brand failed to capitalize on this positive feedback with more robust marketing and promotional activities.

Thursday, 10 January 2019 03:36 PM The Tata Tiago JTP and Tigor JTP were priced competitively, with the Tiago JTP starting at Rs. 6.39 lakh. Despite the competitive pricing, the cars did not achieve the expected sales figures. I think more innovative marketing strategies were needed.
