All I have I'm afraid is the name, with no details of the designer.
I'm convinced it's Japanese, though, not Indian.

I don't know for sure, but I somehow doubt it

"ANANAI sport" (1994)

This car was designed at the request of the dealer who would like to raise the culture of a custom car into Japan.
The clay model and the FRP body were uniquely manufactured within the dealer.

Designed by Mr Michiro Eguchi.

I am not sure, but  tend to believe this is just ta scale model.. 1:1 or even smaller..

P.S. This puzzle was too tough nut...

After almost 6 years I hope Arunas has made it really!

With apologies for the long absence from AP, I do admire the tenacity of everyone to chase this down. I've learnt a lot more about the car now from your researches, and I've never seen the pic posted by Arunas before - however, the name I have for the project is still missing...

I might be tempted to fire out a clue or two :)

At a Japanese website with a portrait of the designer it is called:
"RVコンセプト
アトランティック"

which means exactly:
RV-Konzept
Atlantic

I still think sixteecuda deserves this point...

OK I've awarded both Arunas and sixteenscuda a point, as their researches have shed light that I certainly didn't know about.
But I'm going to keep the puzzle open as I do have an alternative name for it...

From the source himself...

Designer Michiro Eguchi has posted multiple images of this car on his personal FB page. The concept was for a sports coupe based on the Mitsubishi Pajero and appears to be called "Phantom Pajero Sports Coupe."
