Is Tata Indica Vista giving competition to Maruti suzuki Swift?

dude swift diesel hit the market much earlier than palio multijet followed by indica vista.

True. Nice observation (all others missed it)

Tata passenger vehicle sales in april

Passenger VehiclesTata Motors passenger vehicle business reported a total sale and distribution of 14,615 (13,410 Tata + 1205 Fiat) vehicles in the domestic market in April 2009, compared to 15,243 (14,843 Tata + 400 Fiat) vehicles in April 2008. Tata branded car sales were at 11,202 nos. and grew marginally by 0.1%. The Indica range sales at 8,633 nos., grew by 16.2% over last April led by the growing numbers of the Indica Vista. The Indigo family registered sales of 2,569 nos., a decline of 31.7% over April 2008. The UV/ SUV range of Sumo and Safari accounted for sales of 2,208 nos., a 39.5% decline over April 2008.

That's a good sign for Vista - mainly on account of QJD (Diesel).

In recent time i have seen much more ads of Vista in print media . Also they are offering discounts on all Vista models ( almost in the range of 20k - 25 k ). This will definitely help them to increase Vista numbers. 

Ashish Naik. 

yes ashish you are right..!

here in jaipur,rajasthan...insurance is free on vista QJT.

I too agree that the advertising efforts for the Vista have not been upto the mark. I only find a single advertising on TV that they started before launching the car. As per the number of cars, I find quite a few Vistas here in Kolkata, although the number is far less than the Swift or the Indica variants released prior to the Vista. Personally, I feel that people are taking some time to go through all the aspects of the car before making a decision. In fact, the Swift has been a tough player in the market for quite a long time now and the Vista just needs to establish that dependable image so as to increase it's sales figure. Also the fact that Tata has used the Indica name has been a probable setback. Although it's a facelift of the previous versions and shares almost nothing in common with the existing Indica, the name should have been changed for better results. The Vista needs now to accquire a firm position in the market, which seems to  be taking some time.

Tata seems to be caught up with too many thiings on its plate.

The Nano and the JLR issues overseas and ofcourse the general recession at hand!

hello!

The TATAs might have realised that.  Now, you see in the advertisements, they are quoting the name as "VISTA", not "Indica Vista".

Also Tata must changed atleast rear tail light to give Vista a complete new look so that people can differentiate between Indica & Vista . This will really help  Vista to position above other hatchback in its segment.
