Tata Motors' Ravindra Pisharody quits

Head of Tata Motors’ commercial vehicles division Ravindra Pisharody quit due to personal reasons.

Pisharody, who held Executive Director’s (Commercial Vehicles) post since 2012, had joined Tata Motors as Vice President Commercial Vehicles (Sales & Marketing) in 2007.

His resignation comes at a time when Tata Motors has witnessed sales of its commercial vehicles slowing down in the domestic market.

The company's CV sales grew by just 0.45 per cent to 3,05,620 units in 2016-17.

In May 2017, the company's overall commercial vehicles sales in the domestic market were at 23,606 units, down 13 per cent from the same month last year.

Prior to joining Tata Motors, Pisharody was with Castrol Ltd, a subsidiary of BP. He had also worked with Philips India in various roles.
