On 30 December 1998, Tata Motors (previously called Telco) introduced the most modern car ever to be designed by an Indian company:{{citation needed|date=August 2016}} the Indica. Initially introduced with the caption "More car per car," the ad campaign focused on roomy interiors and affordability. Within a week of its unveiling in 1999, the company received 115,000 orders.{{cite web |url=http://www.tatamotors.com/our_world/rearview.php?version=text |title=Rearview |publisher=Tata Motors |date=26 April 2010 |access-date=10 December 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206003027/http://www.tatamotors.com/our_world/rearview.php?version=text |archive-date=6 December 2010 }} Within two years, the Indica had become the number-one car in its segment.{{cite web |title=Tata Indica history Some unheard things about Tata Indica |url=https://www.cargear.in/tata-indica-history-some-unheard-things-from-tata-indica/ |website=Cargeat.in |access-date=11 June 2021}}

Partly designed and developed by Tata Motors, it was a five-door compact hatchback with a 1.4-L petrol/diesel inline-four engine designated internally as 475DL. This was a homegrown engine derived from the engine used by Tata in their line of pick-ups and SUVs earlier, but with a shortened stroke. The original engine was designated as 483DL which stood for four-cylinder and 83-mm stroke.

The Indica offered options such as air conditioning and electric windows, which were previously restricted to upmarket imported cars in India. Three years later, the Indica was exported to European markets for the first time, and from 2003, the Indica was badge engineered and sold in the United Kingdom by MG Rover Group as the CityRover. This vehicle ceased production in April 2005 when Rover went bankrupt, and did not resume production when Rover's new Chinese owner Nanjing Automobile launched its own versions of the Rover range in 2007.

The outer body styling was designed by the Italian design house I.DE.A Institute, under contract from Tata Motors, in close collaboration interaction with Tata's in-house design team. The engine, however, was indigenous.

When first launched, the Indica prompted many complaints from early purchasers, who claimed that the vehicle did not deliver horsepower and mileage as promised.{{Citation needed|date=April 2008}} In response to the customer complaints, Tata Motors re-engineered the internals of the car and launched it as Indica V2 (version 2),{{cite web|url=http://tatawestside.com/article/inside/!$$$!2XU!$$$!G9IArE=/TLYVr3YPkMU= |title=New Generation Indica V2 launched |publisher=TataWestSide.com|date=31 January 2001 |access-date=19 July 2018}} which solved most of the complaints and emerged as one of the most sought-after cars in the Indian automobile industry. Later, it was again updated, now marketed as the "Refreshingly New Indica V2". This was followed by the next variant of Indica, current in early 2008, called the Indica V2 Xeta Petrol, which delivers {{convert|70|PS|kW hp|abbr=on}} of power at a fuel efficiency of 14 km/L (about 33 mpg U.S., fuel consumption of 7.1 L/100 km) under standard test conditions.{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/iw/2006/01/22/stories/2006012201911500.htm|title=Tata's XETA|access-date=16 January 2008|work=Business Line|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930225753/http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/iw/2006/01/22/stories/2006012201911500.htm|archive-date=30 September 2007}} In Indian city conditions, fuel economy can drop to about 10 km/L (about 23.5 mpg U.S., 10 L/100 km).

Since the V1 and V2, which were visually identical, Tata had applied styling updates to the Indica in 2004,{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/2004/01/20/stories/2004012004910300.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040218120754/http://www.hindu.com/2004/01/20/stories/2004012004910300.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=18 February 2004 |title=Indica new version launched |date=20 January 2004 |work=The Hindu |access-date=10 December 2010}} 2007{{cite web |url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/iw/2007/01/14/stories/2007011401821700.htm |title=The new-look Indica |work=Business Line |date=14 January 2007 |access-date=10 December 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091218013521/http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/iw/2007/01/14/stories/2007011401821700.htm |archive-date=18 December 2009 }} and 2012{{Cite web|url=http://www.autocarindia.com/auto-news/refreshed-indica-ev2-launched-317648.aspx|title=Refreshed Indica eV2 launched - Autocar India|website=www.autocarindia.com|access-date=17 January 2017}}

In India, three versions were available with different trim levels.

• Indica V2 – 1.4-L diesel (naturally aspirated engine (NA) in the DLE and DLS; turbocharged option in the DLS (TC); turbocharged and intercooled (TCIC Engine) DLG and DLX; DiCOR engine offered in the DLS and DLG)
• Indica V2 Petrol – 1.4-L petrol MPFI with Hitachi ECU called Indica 2000, 1.2-L and 1.4-L petrol with Bosch ECU (Indica Xeta), 1.2-L LPG (GLE and GLS versions only)
• Indicab – 1.4-L naturally aspirated diesel (DL and DLE), a low-price car with the same framework but fewer features and luxuries, aimed at cab and contract transport business fleets. It is popular among transport business people.{{cite web|url=http://www.expressindia.com/news/ie/daily/19991109/ige09062.html |title=Indica, Mumbai's future taxi |work=The Indian Express |date=9 November 1999 |access-date=10 December 2010}}

Originally offered with 1.4-L petrol and diesel engines, a turbocharged diesel engine was introduced in October 2005; a 1.2-L petrol engine in November 2006, and a direct injection common rail (Dicor) diesel version of Indica V2 was launched in January 2008. It features 16 valves, double overhead camshafts, a variable geometry turbocharger, and an intercooler. The top-end GLG, GLX, DLG, DLX versions and the turbo and DiCOR diesel engines, as well as the 1.4-L petrol engines have been phased out with the introduction of the next-generation Indica Vista. The turbocharged engine was reintroduced in August 2010 as the turbomax in the DLE and DLS trim levels in metros where BS IV norms were introduced.{{cite web|url=http://www.tata.com/media/reports/inside.aspx?artid%3DDIWYsmgv3AM%3D |title=Tata group | Tata Motors | Media reports | Tata to introduce BS IV variant of Indica soon |access-date=6 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120312053539/http://www.tata.com/media/reports/inside.aspx?artid=DIWYsmgv3AM= |archive-date=12 March 2012 }} Later in March 2011, the Indica eV2 was launched with a 'CR4' engine similar to the earlier DiCor engine with features like Auto-Drive Assist and Clutch-To-Start and claims a class-leading ARAI mileage of 25 km/Lhttp://auto-india.co.in/tata-indica-dicor-will-be-india%E2%80%99s-most-fuel-efficient-car/ {{dead link|date=August 2016}}

A compressed natural gas (CNG) was launched in 2001.{{cite web |url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/2001/05/17/stories/0617000c.htm |title=Telco launches CNG version of Indica |publisher=Hinduonnet.com |date=17 May 2001 |access-date=10 December 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100820035328/http://www.hinduonnet.com/2001/05/17/stories/0617000c.htm |archive-date=20 August 2010 |url-status=usurped |df=dmy-all }} It is offered as an option through OEM Bedini kits offered by Shrimanker Gas Services India on the Indica V2 XETA.{{cite web |url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2006/07/21/stories/2006072102050500.htm |title=Tata Motors offers CNG options for Indica, Indigo |work=Business Line |date=21 July 2006 |access-date=10 December 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100709105205/http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2006/07/21/stories/2006072102050500.htm |archive-date=9 July 2010 }}

Faced with numerous CNG-related complaints, Tata organised a systematic recall and retrofit of Bedini equipment which included a new improved lambda sensor/electronic control unit, Bedini emulator, and new wiring harness approved and tested by both Tata and Automotive Research Association of India from 28 to 31 May 2007. With the new system, Tata aimed to improve gas delivery and performance.{{Citation needed|date=September 2008}}

In its home market, the Indica offers good interior capacity and competes with the Maruti Suzuki Swift, Maruti Wagon-R and Maruti Alto. The diesel versions, however, have little or no competition since few diesel cars exist in the Indica's price bracket.

The slightly higher-than-average net weight makes for a slightly more comfortable ride compared to lighter cars. Fit and finish continue be criticised compared to offerings from Fiat and Maruti.{{cite web|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/hitchhikers-guide-to-hatchbacks/325777/2 |title=Hitchhiker's guide to hatchbacks |work=The Indian Express |date=22 June 2008 |access-date=10 December 2010}}

In the United Kingdom, a badge-engineered version was imported by the MG Rover Group and sold as the CityRover from 2003 until the bankruptcy of MG Rover in 2005. Other popular foreign markets include South Africa where the Indica and the Indicab models (known as B Line) are sold.

The Indica platform spawned a number of variants, including the Tata Indigo three-box saloon which includes the shorter Indigo CS, long-wheelbase XL, and the Indigo Marina estate.

This range of accessories was available for the Indica:

During India's 2006 Auto Expo in New Delhi, Tata unveiled the Indica Silhouette concept car, a radical, high-performance Indica featuring rear-wheel drive, extensive bodywork, and a 3.5-litre {{Convert|330|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} V6.{{Cite web|url=http://www.autocarindia.com/new/Information.asp?id=1663|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927195125/http://www.autocarindia.com/new/Information.asp?id=1663|url-status=dead|title=:: Autocar India – Car And Bike Magazine::|archive-date=27 September 2007}} The car is capable of accelerating from 0–100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, and maxes out at {{convert|270|km/h|abbr=on}}.
