The ultra cheap compact vehicle from
Tata Motors will debut at the Delhi
Auto Show in January 2008. Finally.
Tata Motors will unveil its low-cost
car, better known as the Rs 1-lakh
car, on January 10, 2008 at a special
ceremony during the expo. The
commercial launch of the car will take
place later in 2008.

international range, while the Tatas
would showcase its commercial
vehicles, including its buses from the
joint venture with Marcopolo of
Brazil.
