Another 1 Lakh Car?

The Ajanta Group, which mainly manufactures clocks and several household electronic gadgets under the Orpat brand name, started work on the research and development of small electric cars last year. The company plans to compete directly with Tata's Nano. The non-AC demo e-car, manufactured at the company's Samakhiyali unit in Kutch district, where the Oreva e-bike is also made, is likely to be priced between Rs 85,000 and Rs 1,00,000. Production is in full swing at their Kutch plant.
