Tata cars are heavily built man. They are rock solid, have great safety ratings and many prefer them for their build quality.

What I understand is that in India

  - Buy Maruti for efficiency and low cost of spares and service
  - Buy Tata or Mahindra for build quality and sturdiness
  - Buy Honda / Hyundai for good engines but high cost of spares and service.

I was originally going to bring up previous experiences (years ago) watching crash tests with Indian-market Tata cars being pretty much nightmares in crash tests, but looking at their recent stuff it doesn't look half bad. Good on all those engineers working hard to deliver a good product and save lives. If these EVs being talked about are on similar design platforms, they're probably pretty decent safety-wise.
