Nevertheless, the two companies have decided to keep in touch for future areas of collaborations.
Commenting on this development, Guenter Butschek, CEO and Managing Director, Tata Motors, said,
We have evaluated the technical feasibility and degree of synergies for the envisioned partnership. We have concluded that the strategic benefits for both parties are below the threshold levels.
