The meeting, to be attended by top executives from Ashok Leyland, Mahindra & Mahindra and Tata Motors, would discuss a number of issues concerning automotive research and the areas it should cover at a brainstorming session. A roadmap would be finalised based on the recommendations.
Mr Sajid Mubashir, Director of TIFAC (Technology Information Forecasting and Assessment Council), told Business Line that the council had been talking to automobile players on this for long.
