Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Jobs 2026 – Latest Openings, Salary, Eligibility & How to Apply

Anúncios

Cars like the Nexon, Punch, Harrier and Tiago have made Tata a familiar name in Indian households, and the business that builds them now runs as its own company. If you want to work on cars rather than trucks, the passenger vehicles side of Tata Motors is where to look in 2026, with roles in plants, engineering, quality, supply chain and sales support.

The passenger vehicle business has plants at Pune in Maharashtra and Sanand in Gujarat, where Tata Passenger Electric Mobility makes both ICE and EV models at the former Ford India facility. A new plant at Panapakkam in Ranipet district, Tamil Nadu began operations in February 2026 with an investment of around ₹9,000 crore. Its first locally made vehicle was the Range Rover Evoque, and reports say it may create 5,000+ direct and indirect jobs over several years.

Openings are shared on the official Tata Motors careers website, through campus drives and on apprenticeshipindia.gov.in. Car showrooms and service workshops are run by independent authorised dealers who hire their own staff. This is an independent guide for job seekers and not the official Tata Motors website.
