The Machinist Star List is an annual feature which aims at recognising the iconic leaders of Indian manufacturing. The Star List 2018 includes the leaders from various sectors of the manufacturing industry. It is their vision of steering their respective companies ahead and passion towards the manufacturing industry that makes them extraordinary individuals.

Guenter Butschek joined Tata Motors in 2016 after his last assignment at Airbus Group where he served as Chief Operating Officer at Airbus and Member of the Group Executive Committee. His rich global experience of more than 25 years has helped Tata Motors to venture into new avenues of growth. One of the recent examples of the same would be company's entry into e-mobility. Tata Motors bagged an order of 10,000 electric to Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL). In fact, Butschek recently handed over the keys of the Tigor EVs to Saurabh Kumar, Managing Director, EESL. Speaking on it, he mentioned, "We, at Tata Motors are extremely proud to be part of this project and are supportive of the Government's transformational vision of auto electrification in India."

This project is indeed prestigious for him. Speaking on the same, he said, "With Tigor EV, we have begun our journey in boosting e-mobility and will offer a full range of electric vehicles to the Indian customers. This tender has effectively paved way for connecting our aspirations in the e-mobility space with the vision of the Government."

Another feather in his cap is RACEMO winning German Design Award (GDA) in the Gold category for International Excellence in "Exceptional Product Design" at the 87th Geneva International Motor Show. "Winning the prestigious German Design Council's Gold Award for Automotive Design is a proud moment for us and
is testament to the skill and passion of the Global Tata Motors Design team. A perfect blend of Italian sensuality and Indian ingenuity, the RACEMO is the first innovation from our sub-brand TAMO and our emotional, unexpected leap to the future," Butschek said.

Also, the company registered the growth of by 52 percent in December 2017. Tata Motors sold 54,627 vehicles in December 2017 as against 35,825 units in December 2016.
