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

Electric?

Electric?

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

[Arunas]

"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...

Possibly also called RV Concept Atlantic

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

[grobmotorix]

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...

[Quiller]

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...

I've found another picture tagged as 1995 SUV Concept "ANANAI" Same as Arunas post

[Quiller]

Ananai isn't the name on my subtitle screen...

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."
