Tata Motors would use current or future internal combustion platforms to integrate with electric technology. Unlike Jaguar that has introduced a brand new and standalone platform that will underpin the I-Pace, Tata Motors will not have a standalone electric car platform. This platform integration is mainly due to the fact that Tata Motors would have had to invest a huge amount of money into a brand new standalone platform - money that they do not currently have. The new AMP platform will also most likely be used on electric cars in the future even though the first car on this platform is said to be a premium hatchback that will be launched in 2019.

Earlier this year, Tata Motors announced a plan to consolidate vehicle platforms from the current 6 to a mere 2 in the next few years. Each of these platforms would have multiple top structures and the platform will be adaptable to various lengths, widths, suspension setups and even wheelbase differences. The first platform of the two will be called AMP or Advanced Modular Platform and will be used for the next generation of hatchback and sedan applications along with new SUV applications. The first Tata Motors car based on the AMP platform will be launched in 2019 and will most likely be a larger premium hatchback.
