The head of Bajaj’s sales and marketing operations, RC Maheshwari, said he hopes to be able to launch the vehicle on the market either in the fourth quarter of 2013 or the first quarter of 2014.
Bajaj Auto had previously planned to enter the Indian low-cost car market through a joint venture with Renault-Nissan but the partnership was dissolved following disagreements on strategy.
