So does Tata Motors.

Last month, the company has not produced a single of unit of Hexa in India. In fact, the sales figure of the Hexa was sadly at 0 unit in March 2020, which makes the carmaker to temporarily suspend the production of Tata Hexa in the country. It is said that Tata will resume on production of Hexa only after the BSVI norms come into force here.
