Bajaj and Renault talking about a possible small car project

Renault has already made it clear that they want to develop a USD 3000 car for the Indian market. This car could possibly become a rival to the upcoming Rs. 1 lakh car from Tata which would arrive on the Indian roads sometime next year.

Bajaj has also stated in the past that they are working on a possible Pulsar on four wheels product.

The two companies have now confirmed rumors that they are in talks about a possible venture to make cheap cars for the Indian market.

The two companies said in a statement: “Bajaj Auto and Renault are in preliminary deliberations to jointly understand customer requirements and business potential for very competitive vehicles in India. If concluded favorably, this could lead to a long-term partnership between Renault and Bajaj for the development of the business so conceived.”

Incidentally, Renault is already selling a cheap sedan named Logan in India in collaboration with Mahindra and Mahindra.
