Bad example of Good R & D by tata..

Tell Me more about how 697 achieved Euro 3 and we'll see whether ERC has foriegn collaboration,
Or maybe the Indica V2 engine (Another product of ERC.. without foriegn collaboration???),
Or the safari engine.
They have some engines that are their own and the "learning" process takes time. Moreover the foreign tie-ups are more towards that goal (I bet started pretty late). Alas what else can be said when "R&D" is regarded as adapting a foreign engine to local conditions.
