Tata Motors plans more car launches

Tata Motors will roll out a compact car, a sedan and a multi-utility vehicle
next year apart from the much talked about Rs 1 lakh car, a
city-based dealer said.

The auto major, which has forged a joint venture with Fiat for the production of passenger cars and engines at Ranjangaon(Maharashtra), will also jointly launch a compact car and a sedan with Fiat next year.

"Tata Motors is likely to come up with many new offerings in the passenger car segment next year but I can't comment as to whether they will be compacts, sedans or multi-utility vehicles," S Krishnan, vice president (commercial), passenger car business unit, said.

Krishnan was tight-lipped on the much awaited Rs 1 lakh car but hinted that Tata Motors is likely to manufacture Indica, Indigo as well some of its
upcoming models at the Ranjangaon facility.

Barring the small car, the other offerings from Tata Motors will be priced
in the range of Rs 3.5-Rs 9 lakh. Company officials refused to give a specific comment on the launch of the new models.
