I dont see any point in putting Fiat 1.6 engine in Indica. Palio is a lot better car than Indica and Palio 1.6 doesnt suffer any Image Problem in anybodys minds w.r.t. it being hot hatch. Since Tata & Fiat have collaborated, it would be better if the hot hatch is Palio and basic car be Indica. IMO, this would be a better product differentiation and both could co-exist even though they belong to the same segment.
As for competition to Palio 1.6, I would like to see a Swift with 1.6 engine. Thats some doing.
