India - One of the fastest growing economies. But when it came to Indian Automobiles, the first indigenously designed and developed car did not happen till the late 90's. December 1998 saw the launch of the first truly Indian car, the Tata Indica. The Indica V2 was launched in 2001 and was an advanced variant of the Tata Indica. The Indica V2 incorporated features few cars in the category could match.However, the most

significant aspect of the Indica V2 was that it was designed in India.This ensured that the car perfectly understood Indian conditions and satisfied them. The Indica V2 was spacious enough to accomodate large Indian families, and off course all the luggage that came with them. The powerful engine of the Indica V2 ensured it took the burden of the extra weight. The powerful AC added to an

already comfortble ride. The Indica V2 also had a rugged built for miles of pot-hole ridden roads, and at times no road at all, just paths. These features ensured that the Indica V2 led the sales in it's segment. As a matter of fact a quarter million Indicas were manufactured by October 2003. This is indeed a great achievement for Tata Motors.
