Question

Mitsubishi, a Japanese company, has a tie up with which among the following Indian automobile companies?

• A. Telco
• B. Bajaj Auto
• C. Hindustan Motors (HM)
• D. None of these

Hint:

Think about which company sold the Mitsubishi Lancer in India.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
We need to name the Indian carmaker that partnered with Mitsubishi, the Japanese automobile group.

Step 2: Key Approach:
Mitsubishi Motors entered India through a joint venture with an existing domestic manufacturer rather than starting alone, so we match it to its actual Indian partner.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Mitsubishi tied up with Hindustan Motors (HM) to manufacture and sell Mitsubishi models in India, including the Lancer sedan and later the Pajero and Cedia.
Telco (now Tata Motors) built its own vehicles under its own brand and did not run a Mitsubishi joint venture, so option (1) is wrong.
Bajaj Auto has historically focused on two wheelers and three wheelers, and its later car era tie up was with Renault, not Mitsubishi, so option (2) is wrong.
Since Hindustan Motors is the correct partner, option (4), none of these, is wrong.

Step 4: Final Answer:
Mitsubishi's Indian tie up is with Hindustan Motors (HM).
