Easily available spurious parts like clutch parts, filters, gear box parts not only affect the aggregate life but is also a major threat to everyone around and one of the biggest reasons for road accidents. We at Tata Motors strongly believe in educating the customers on how to identify spurious parts and the advantages of using original ones, to curb all sorts of hazards. At Tata Motors we conduct many awareness programs like mechanic meets, retailer meets and campaigns to identify Tata Genuine Parts. Over 300 programs and 7000 individuals have been covered so far.”

Tato Motors has launched a series of pilfer-proof plastic packaging for gear and differential parts as well as laser marking with the logo, a slew of security enriched packaging stickers and labels and a hologram on the packaging, as identification aids to provide customers with additional assurances when they buy Tata Motors spares. Tata Motors is committed to safeguard its end user from being misled with counterfeit, duplicate, imitated or fake parts and would continue its action against proliferation of these parts in the market.
