The automaker is already well established there with commercial vehicle sales and now wants to expand operations.
A market survey for the company said Malaysian buyers would be attracted to Tata’s Indica hatchback, Indigo saloon, Marina estate and Safari SUV. The automaker has links to local industrial group DRB-Hicom, which assembles Tata commercial trucks there.
Tata vehicles already are exported to about 70 countries in Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and Australia, though volume is small.
Tata’s vehicles are also assembled in Bangladesh, Kenya, South Africa and Egypt and it supplies fully-assembled versions of the Indica hatchback to MG Rover in the UK, which sells them as the CityRover line.
