Tata may Launch Electric Indica in 2011 !
Posted on November 25th 2009Welcome back!
India’s third largest passenger car maker, Tata Motors, said that it may launch the electric Indica in first quarter of 2011.
The electric Indica, which was unveiled at the auto expo last year, will be available for launch in the country simultaneously with its global unveiling in 2011.
- Mr. Prakash M Telang (MD, Tata Motors) said.
The company also has plans to start a feasibility study on this in 2011 and may introduce car together with the European launch.
Mr. Telang said that domestic launch of the car would be determined by the cost factor, as electric cars are normally 70 to 150 percent more costly, depending on their batteries. Indian market is a price sensitive, so they would have to look into the price equation here as the high cost is attached to the e-car.
