The breakaway faction formalised the name change days after possibility of reunion with EPS camp was ruled out at AIADMK general body meet. Group open to tie-up with even DMK.

If deal goes through, Greece will be 2nd foreign country to procure vehicle. Morocco was first; TATA Group has set up manufacturing unit there with minimum 30 percent indigenous content.
