Tata plans another small-car model in India

Tata Motors plans to launch another small-car model positioned between the Nano and Indica in India, reports the Economic Times. Tata CEO Carl-Peter Foster said, “This is a wide space that needs to be addressed.” The as-yet unnamed model is expected to be launched by 2012 and will compete with Maruti Suzuki’s Alto and Chevrolet’s Spark. The model is expected to be powered by a 0.8-liter gasoline (petrol) engine. (October 13, 2010)
