Indirect competitors:

• Fiat – (Model- palio/palio weekend):

The palio is fiat’s world car for developing markets of six available body styles a hatchback like indica (they shared the same design house) and a station wagon may be launched. The Car won’t be called the weekend here, as it would amount to wrong positioning.

The models may come with 1.3liter petrol and 1.7 liter turbo-diesel engines.
Expected price –rs 4-lakh

• Maruti udyog – (Model-Wagonr):

Maruti could well position this as the Santro killer. The wagon r is japans best selling model and was one of the early cars to sport the tall boy design to increase internal space without increasing the length or width of the car, However there is a vast difference in the looks of Wagon r with Tata Indica and even with the Santro. The first Wagon r was offered with a 600cc petrol engine and but now both 1.0 and 2.0 liter are available in India the model being offered is the 1.0 petrol engine.

• Hindustan motors/proton – (Model-persona Compact):
The Malaysian car company is certainly keen to get into India fast it is talking to Hindustan about using the latter’s facilities for assembling a proton model and is also going ahead with plans for a 100% owned subsidiary. Proton can make an entry through either the compact model—which is basically an extension of the Zen class—or the larger Persona. Both cars come with numerous engine options and can be expected to fragment an already fragmented market future.

Expected time of launch-mid-2000

Expected price 4-6 lakh.
