Tata Motors also said that the semiconductor shortage continues to impact the auto industry globally, which has been one of the contributing factors for constrained volumes. The company says it's forced to moderate production and offtake volumes in the coming months.
"The situation is fluid and we will continue to work to mitigate the impact of this and aim to meet our customer orders through an agile, multi-pronged approach including close engagement with our extended supply chain partners, procuring chipsets from the open market, using alternate chips and managing our model and trim mix" the automaker added.
