PICTURES: INDICA VISTA LAUNCH IN DELHI
The new Indica Vista is a whole new generation of the car and has nothing in common with the current Indica, except for the brand name. Tata Motors is also working on a host of other products like the next generation Indigo which will be based on the Vista platform, a brand new crossover utility vehicle which is based on an all new utility vehicle platform. No timelines have been given by the company regarding these launches but expect them in the next couple of years.
“In six months, we will take the Indica Vista to international markets,” said Mr Dubey. “It’s a global product and meets all international safety and emission norms. We will re-enter Europe with the new Indica.”
Mr Dubey said: “It’s the new launches which are generating additional sales as older cars are stagnant or not showing any growth. We are banking on the new Indica Vista to give us some stellar sale figures in the next few months. Like any car company, we have also planned a complete changeover for the Indigo and Safari range to boost our performance in the domestic market.”
On being asked about Jaguar and Land Rover plans for India Mr Dubey said “Land Rovers are present in small numbers in Mumbai currently. Our colleagues at JLR (Jaguar-Land Rover) have chalked out plans for expansion in the country within a year, which will be followed by the entry of Jaguar”. The company is also getting ready for the biggest lauch of the year, the 1-Lakh rupee Tata Nano somewhere in October.
