Its a start. I see the same revolution in India that the Ambanis brought about for the cell phones prior to which even the wealthy people used to shudder about cell Phone bills.
Ambanis made it so cheap that every common man can now have a cell phone.
Now some people may ask how come a cell phone feeds a mans hunger, I would say it need not but it can be a means for the man in the village to use it as a tool that provides him or her with an ability to raise his/her working income and hence provide for food and hence a tool to reduce his hunger.
I believe what Tata's have done here is a similar revolutionary idea which in turn will fuel infrastructure changes. No more buying a car will be a status symbol. May be 3 wheelers like Auto Rickshaws now will go off the roads and bring in the cars.
There is some environmental concern but I believe we will soon find a way to use Hydrogen fuel cells in these cheap cars.
Kudos to Tatas'. Its this thinking different that we need to make India a developed nation
