The arrival of Tata Motors as an official partner will contribute towards the delivery of the best ever Commonwealth Games.’’ The sponsorship comes at a time when the OC has been under pressure to get more sponsors for the Games, especially as few have signed on yet apart from the Indian Railways, NTPC, Central Bank of India, Coca Cola and a few others. As part of the sponsorship, Tata Motors will be providing a total of 1,789 vehicles during the Games, which include 1,550 Tata Indigo, 100 Tata Safari, 109 Sumo Grande and 30 trucks required for transportation during the Games.

It's great to hear that TATA will be sponsoring the Commonwealth Games, they've recently announced a upward trend in profits after turning around key marques Jaguar and Land Rover through genuine management - promoting TATA as shares to buy
