Tata Motors has announced the extension of warranty and free service period for its CV customers across the country in view of the restrictions announced by several state Governments across India to curtail the spread of the COVID-19 virus. It applies to CVs whose warranty and free service period were scheduled to expire in the period of 01 April, 2021, to 30 June, 2021. The company has also announced one month extension of Tata Suraksha AMC as well. In other news, sources claim that India’s competition regulator has ordered an investigation into allegations that Tata Motors abused its market position while supplying CVs to some of its dealers. They mention that the case pertains to allegations from two former Tata dealers that it dictated terms around the quantity and type of vehicles it should stock, and also worked in concert with affiliate firms while advancing credit. In its 45 page order, the CCI, inform sources, has termed as anti-competitive the practice by Tata Motors to ‘coerce its dealers to order the vehicles according to its own whims and fancies’. The CCI’s investigation unit, they add, has been called to submit a report within 60 days. Tata Motors, in its response, has said that it is reviewing the CCI’s order and will consult its legal counsels.
