I am not sure what will be the safety concerns for these cars. Small cars more unsafe in general. They can overturn very easily. In my opinion, instead of developing small cars for lower price, India should do research to manufacture standard sedan within 100k-150k price range.

the overturning is not a function of small or big -it is a function of where you have the center of gravity - infact very big SUVs are more prone to overturns

shhhh..!!! please murmer the truth.. there is lot of CPM/CPI blind followers are here...they don't like to speak or hear against China the big brother... they were Bhai Bhai even in 1962 when china attak india... If India critise the action of China the left will pull out the support to the government....
Lets pray for them to be loyal to their motherland...Jhai Hind..
It's very good, very cheap affordable to everyone but are there roads to drive these vehicles, are there sufficient electricity to charge these vehicle every now and then. Such news are not important unless and until the roads are made wider without any bump or thuds....only fool will think of buying these cars...............
Like Petrol, if cars running by using battery power have standard batteries then it will be much cheaper to produce it in bulk, recharge it from specialized equipments for faster recharging and can be rented as as piece from the existing Petrol pumps. So anytime you need replacement, simply go to petrol pump and with standardized changing patterns, it will be replaced quickly.

What you have expressed is true. The cars are environmently friendly only when it is recharged using renewable sources. Otherwise, the net pollution is more. People forget most of electricity produced now is from fossil fuels.
Bio fuels, solar power, wind power are not being harnessed seriously enough by India. This is forcing us to remain slaves of the Gulf and other oil producing countries who have deliberately refused to increase production and keep prices artificially high. India must find a way to reduce our import dependence. Yet our Harvard-educated Finance Minister has still kept the excise duty on hybrid cars higher than those on petrol/ diesel cars!!! Jai Ho Chidambaram ki!! Glory to his Harvard education!

this problem is from USA, GERMANY AND UK. THESE COUNTRIES ARE GETTING COMMISSION FROM FULF COUNTRIES AND THATSWHY THEY ARE NOT FORCING GULF COUNTRIES TO INCREASE PRODUCTION . USA CAN DO ALOT BUT THEIR LEADERS WON'T COMMISSION AND THATSWHY WE ARE IN TROUBLE.

In USA, hybrid cars are tax free. There are many incentives available if you want to buy bybrid. It has been promoted by lot of celebrities also. So, shut your mouth!!!
Instead of spending lot of money petroleum refineries and giving petrol in subsidized rate. It would be great idea to generate energy using SOLAR POWER stations to energize these cars under subsidized rates. It will earn billions of dollars in foreign exchange.
