The demand for four-wheelers in India is growing and the two-wheeler manufacturers are also venturing into the car market. Hero Electric, a subsidiary of the Hero group is planning to foray the car segment with an electric car by 2013. The details of the car like the specifications and the price is not yet disclosed. These cars will not run on capacitors or on conventional battery. The car will carry an instant charger and would also give higher mileage at a lower cost.
The increase in fuel price has given a great pinch to the buyers as well as the car manufacturers and as a practical solution to it, car manufacturers are working on eco-friendly cars. Recently, Tata Motors has also announced the electric-drive version of Tata Nano by 2009. Mahindra & Mahindra is also planning to roll out electric car to India very soon.
As we all know that India does not support electric vehicles much. Looks like by introducing e-cars, car manufacturers are trying to build a green image, but still the actual revenues come from mainstream fuel guzzlers.

Very true that the car market is increasing day by day. Once it was only Maruti Suzuki. But today we find so many car companies in India. This shows that Indian car market is growing tremendously and even the buyers are also increasing. Good that there are more electric cars and it all takes some time to be accepted by the Indians.
Electric cars are becoming popular in our country. Good that many of the car manufacturers are taking steps to launch such cars. with the rising fuel prices this would be a better option and also reduces a huge amount of pollution in India. Even i am planning to buy Reva this year only because of the fuel prices.
Electric is terrific!
Demand for four wheelers increasing..Fuel price soaring high..
Who is the savior... alternatives. i.e, Hybrid cars, and Electric cars.As hybrid cars comes with a heavy price tag, Electric car wins over..
Many in the auto industry now are zeroing in for the production of electric cars, they are cost effective and pollute less..
So in the near future, we can see "small electric cars r(u)olling the streets!!
Cars and scooters work on different technology then how can a scooter manufacturer enter into the production of cars. Its difficult to state how effective the electric car would be.
