Tata Nano Electric or the Jayem Neo is expected to soon hit the Indian roads. The initial batch of 400 cars will be sold to cab aggregator Ola to run in its Hyderabad fleet.
Despite the petrol version of the Tata Nano not doing quite well in the Indian market, it is likely that the small hatch will live on. Jayem, a Coimbatore based company is currently working on an electric version of the Nano for the Indian market. To be called the Neo and sold under the Jayem badge, the electric vehicle is expected to reach Indian roads within the next couple of months. Reports suggest that the first batch which consists of 400 of these cars will be sold to Ola, the cab aggregator for its Hyderabad fleet operations. Yes, you heard it right, at the moment, the Tata Nano electric will only run as a commercial vehicle and will not be available for private use.

As Tata Motors will be supplying the bodyshells of the Nano to Jayem Automotives, it’s pretty much for sure that the Neo will share all its body panels with the Tata model. There might be some changes in the styling owing to slightly different headlamps, but overall, the Neo will look much like a Nano. Of course, there won’t be even a single Tata badge; the Neo will have Jayem badges and an Electra EV insignia for the electric power system.
