Will deliver mileage of about 20 kpl.
The car would be commercially launched in the second half of 2008, and would be produced at the Singur plant in West Bengal.
“This is a proud moment for India. It demonstrates India’s technological and entrepreneurial ability,” Commerce Minister of India Kamal Nath told reporters on Thursday.
“It fulfils the need of the common Indian who aspires to move from a two-wheeler to a four-wheeler,” he added.
