Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

This question is about which Indian carmaker partnered with Japan's Mitsubishi to sell its cars in India.

  1. Telco: Telco (now Tata Motors) built and sold its own vehicles under its own brand, without a Mitsubishi partnership.
  2. Bajaj Auto: Bajaj was mainly a two wheeler and three wheeler maker at this point and its later car venture was tied to Renault, not Mitsubishi.
  3. Hindustan Motors (HM): HM tied up with Mitsubishi Motors to build and sell models like the Lancer in India, and this partnership is the correct answer.
  4. None of these: Wrong, since Hindustan Motors is the real partner.

The Lancer, sold by Hindustan Motors under this joint venture, was one of the more recognisable Mitsubishi badged cars on Indian roads at the time.

Let's summarize:

  • Telco and Bajaj Auto built their own vehicles without a Mitsubishi tie up.
  • Hindustan Motors partnered with Mitsubishi to sell cars like the Lancer in India.

So the correct answer is Hindustan Motors (HM).
