I fail to understand the vision or logic behind the 1 Lakh car apart from just making it affordable to more Indian people. But then why now ? why not in the 60's or 70's did they build a affordable car for common man.
Today more than cars India needs good roads , good public transport system in cities. the challenges to build a good public transport are far bigger and complex than to build a 1 lakh car.
Agreed more people should be able to have the pleasure of owning a car but not at a time when the country is seeing an explosion in car population and worst vehicle pollution.
City roads are jammed and no one is getting a better public transport but press is lauding a car ?
Where is the space for so many cars on roads ?
I think this sounds more like an ego expansion then a vision.

Please put your CAR/ BIke /Bicycle off and go in public transport and then make such comments. Then raise your voice against the tax amount misused by the goverment. Meanwhile raise your voice against the corruption. You comment so easily with out thought, i feel you never voted to effect the required above change.

There was a license Raj till Mrs Indira Gandhi died..The license raj actually came to an end only when Manmohan Singh was the FM. Do you remember that we had to pay black price for a bajaj scooter?? Also we had to wait years in line for a telephone connection. The list could go on. That is precisely the reason. I hope it clarifies.

Oh shut up.... enough has been said that it will add to pollution, traffic etc etc. The Indian private sector has responded to the needs of the common man...let the Govt of India wake up at last and address the problems of pollution and infrastructure ....why are we paying taxes for....Vrinda

The easiest way to ridicule the effort taken by Tata. You as a citizen did not elect representatives who would put their mind and build roads and parking lots for the common good of all people. To say TATA's 1 Lakh car will make the road more congested is plain stupid. The roads are congested because they are not planned well by the beaurocrats and elected respresentatives. They have no vision. Mr. Rata is a visionary and he has made the most vaunted dream of all Indians affordable. Reliance did that in Telecom and TATA's have done it in Automobiles (Though I am not definitely equating them). I am sure both will succeed in the globalised scenario.
