"We believe the small car is popular in India. We are studying the feasibility. But there is no concrete decision yet," said Mr Mitsuo Kinoshita, Executive Vice-President of Toyota Motor Corporation.
Mr Kinoshita was here to attend the launch of Toyota Technical Training Institute (TTTI) here on Wednesday.
To a question whether TMC was interested in buying the Land Rover or Jaguar cars, which are reported to be on sale, Mr Kinoshita said "there was neither an offer to nor do we intend to bid for it."
