To match up to the international giants in the passenger car market, Tata wants to produce five electric variants of the Indica using lithium ion batteries that will run up to 200 km on one charge.

It will also build a hybrid of petrol and electric vehicles using two cylinder petrol engines that could give up to 20 km/litre when loaded on an Indica car.

I gather the Tata guy is talking about Electrovaya and Miljobil Grenland AS.

On another note, Tata is leading the pack to take over Jaguar & Land Rover... interesting...
