The Indica Vista EV is powered by a super-polymer lithium-ion battery that promises 200 km on a single charge and an acceleration of 0 to 100 kph in 10 seconds.
The second-generation Tata Indica will be called Indica Vista. The car that was previewed for the public at the Auto Expo, New Delhi this year will carry the new tag to differentiate itself from the Indica that is currently in production.
The new Indica Vista 'Drivetech4' series comes with Bharat Stage IV emission norm compliant Quadrajet diesel and Safire petrol, Tata Motors said.

Tata Motors, India's biggest automotive company, is readying the launch of an electric version of Indica Vista, its most popular hatchback, in the United Kingdom.

The car is expected to be powered by 800cc to 1 litre engine.
Bangalore-based Reva Electric Car Company, two-wheeler maker Bajaj Auto and Tata Motors are finalising plans to launch electric vehicles in Europe and the US to take advantage of subsidies these countries are offering as part of their environmental agendas.

According to a senior Tata Motors official, the company is taking aggressive steps to correct its product portfolio, with a more 'cleverly defined and targeted strategy'.
Discounts range between Rs 20,000 and Rs 80,000.
