In the last 17 months, after taking over the TATA dealership, Cauvery Motors has sold over 2,800 vehicles. “The reason TATA chose us is, of course, our reputation that precedes us and the very fact that each customer is our brand ambassador,” asserts Shetty.
This has been supported by the state-of-the-art dealership point at Padil, equipped with cutting-edge technology, including:
• A sprawling 7,500 sq ft full-range showroom and a 20,000 sq ft built-up area for TATA vehicle service at Kannur, all certified by TATA.
• A workforce of nearly 250 personnel dedicated solely to TATA brand vehicles.
• Twenty bay workshops, allowing for the servicing of a whopping 80 vehicles a day if works are conducted in 2 shifts.
• Cauvery never rests on Sundays. The work culture here is never 9 to 6.
• The same-day service and delivery principle is a standout feature at Cauvery, backed by the ‘Pick up’ & ‘Delivery’ feature if needed.
Besides Mangaluru, the showroom caters to the TATA brand vehicle needs of customers in Kundapur, Karkala, Mudigere, and Channarayapatna in Hassan district. It also plans to have a service facility at Karkala by the end of September and at Kundapur by the end of this financial year.
Cauvery Motors Pvt Ltd, therefore, in a short journey together with TATA, has given rise to a new brand: ‘Cauvery TATA’.
WHY TATA?
• The name TATA today touches and influences almost all sectors of importance, the recent being the acquisition of ‘Air India’. The respect and demand the brand commands in the passenger vehicles department—be it cars, sports utility vehicles, trucks, buses, and defence vehicles—is unmatched.
• Every 6th vehicle sold in the automobile sector is a TATA.
• TATA’s rise in the automobile sector has been phenomenal, with standout acquisitions like Jaguar and Land Rover.

• Brands like Altroz and Punch are currently doing 20,000 units per month, and coupled with Tiago and Tigor, have left their mark.
• Electrical vehicles (EVs) currently account for 20%-25% of overall sales in India. Tiago, Punch, and Nexon in the EV sector boast the highest customer satisfaction. In Mangaluru too, EVs account for 20% of the sales.
