Tata has recently launched 'Click to drive', an end-to-end online platform to select and buy cars. Test drives are being offered with a dealer staff member sitting in the rear seat to avoid any physical contact. Following every test drive, the vehicle is fully sanitised. Customer vehicles arriving at workshops for repairs and servicing too are completely sanitised before being handed over post service.
