Bajaj Auto, India's second-largest motorcycle maker, unveiled its diminutive 'Lite' concept car at the New Delhi Auto Expo, two days before Tata launched the Nano. The intra-city car is expected to be priced around Rs 1.25 lakhs (3,000 US dollars).

With a tall body stance and five doors, the Lite measures approximately 3.3m long, 1.4m wide and stands 1.5m high. It is expected to be built in collaboration with Renault-Nissan within another two to four years.

The 600cc two-cylinder city runabout will be available in both petrol and diesel variants, with a new format semi-automatic transmission, which will be a mix between conventional manual and automatic transmission, sending power to the rear wheels.

The USP of the car would be highest range of mileage in the small car segment, which would allow low operational costs. The standard version of the car will come with air conditioning and will meet safety and emission requirements in the domestic market.
