Morris Garages India has announced the name of its upcoming EV. Dubbed Comet, it’ll be a tweaked version of the Wuling Air EV, a compact hatchback sold in markets like Indonesia. The ‘Comet’ name derives inspiration from the 1934 British aeroplane, which participated in the England-Australia MacRobertson Air Race. The EV will be a city runabout, and it is expected to deliver a range between 200-300km with a full charge. MG India hasn’t revealed any specifications but has confirmed that the EV will feature connected-car technology.

Indian auto giant Tata Motors has inked an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with Uber, the cab aggregator, to supply a fleet of pure-electric cars. As many as 25,000 Expres-T sedans, the commercial-use version of the Tigor EV, are part of the deal. The deliveries will happen in a phased manner, starting this month. Uber will introduce the EVs (Electric Vehicles) procured in multiple metropolitan cities across India, including Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad.
