    According to people in the know, this is the first of several batches to be supplied to Cognizant, which may total to 200 units worth around Rs 18 to 22 crore.

    Cognizant will deploy the EVs in its Hyderabad campus as part of its commitment to a sustainable environment. Tata Motors has partnered with Volercars, a leading mobility solutions company, that will be delivering integrated solution with the value added service to Cognizant including on-ground operations & fleet management.

    Leveraging the 'One Tata' solution for EVs, Tata Motors will collaborate with other Tata Group companies to provide a consolidated solution with respect to vehicles, charging infrastructure, maintenance services and financial assistance for procurement and functioning of the Tigor EVs.
