Industry sources told the publication that project Bravo could be based on the Tata Iris's platform, though an all-new petrol engine would be at the helm.

One source closely associated with the development of the quadricycle said that the project is at an early stage and that Tata would send out Request for Quotations in a few months time to vendors. A launch would take place sometime in 2018. A Tata spokesperson said that the company does not comment on future product plans, when asked by the publication.
