The possibility has gained strength with a proposed visit by a team of officials of Tata Motors headed by managing director Ravikant, on the anvil to undertake feasibility studies. The team will also visit the Volvo truck and bus manufacturing facility at Tavarakere in Hosakote here, sources added.
