The six models, with every single automaker creating 3, will be built on joint platforms and will also be exported, they stated. The new models will consist of two electrical automobiles, the very first EVs to be rolled out by the automakers in India, and four athletics utility vehicles (SUVs).

The automakers previous week unveiled details of their redesigned alliance and gave specifics of new joint initiatives in Latin America, India and Europe.
