Hind Motors Plans Small Car With Mitsubishi

HM, which is already collaborating with Japanese auto giant Mitsubishi for making the Lancer cars, will also increase production of its 1800cc petrol and diesel cars, besides repositioning its Contessa model as a long-distance car, an official said.

Car business is where we have been for a long time, and there is no reason why we should not continue to be a major player," vice-president (marketing) C K Rao said.

On the decision to enter the small-car segment with Mitsubishi's 'Minica', Rao said, "Our decision to enter the market will be taken in three months' time. Minica will be powered by an 800cc petrol engine.
