I guess we should be supportive to TATA group as they have lived up to the commitments and are trying to give Indians an affordable car.

It is possible, if you team up with right people with right skills.In terms of engine it can be a 2 cylinder engine with battery powered hybrid with electric transmission can get you car with 1 lakh proice tag.For safety you can have a all round air bag.

Parijit,
I think they are covering the inflation by displacing the 1 Lakh figure with a $2,200 . ;-)

Abhi,
Oh the Flintstones car ? Excellent.

Is this car promise like the Atal Behari Vajpayees promise to land a man on the moon in 15 years ??

“We now have some issues concerning safety, mainly because of the car’s modest size…”

It does look like it will be smaller. However, it is true that we’ve heard of this 1 lakh car for quite a while now. What is not clear is that if they plan to release the car after another 3 years, are they going to take inflation into account or are they going to stick with the 1 Lak figure…

“Today we’re producing a $7,000 car, the Indica. Here we’re talking about a $2,200 car, which will be smaller and will be produced in larger volumes, ”

1. Is it going to be smaller than Indica ? ;-)

2. I have hearing this 1 Lakh car for a long time now..
