Overview
- Stellantis said it will develop and assemble a new Jeep SUV in India through its 50:50 joint venture with Tata Motors and that Tata will supply the underlying vehicle platform.
- The company set a target launch year of 2028 and said the India‑built model is being prepared for export to about 50 countries.
- Analysts and reporters have suggested the Tata ARGOS platform could be used because it supports all‑wheel drive and electrification, but Stellantis has not formally confirmed that technical choice.
- Stellantis plans to raise parts localisation toward roughly 90 percent to lower costs and use India’s engineering and supply chain scale as part of a wider Asia product strategy.
- The project builds on a two‑decade Stellantis–Tata partnership that has produced about 1.37 million cars at Ranjangaon and could affect local jobs, supplier sourcing and the cost profile of future Jeep models.
