 “Dream-dream and dream, because dream gives vision, vision gives thoughts and

 The Tata Nano uses plastics and adhesives rather than welding.
 introducing the car with an artificially low price through govt-subsidies
and tax-breaks, or
 using vertical-integration, or
 partially using inexpensive polymers or biodegradable plastics instead of
a full metal-body.
 It has no AC, no power steering, no power windows, no power bells and
whistles.
 The low-cost car is clearly
intended for the masses. For the
family of four that would
otherwise ride on a scooter,
precariously balancing a tiny tot
on the front and a baby on the
wife’s lap. For the first-time car
buyer in India - a huge market
despite the increasing number of
cars in the urban and semi-urban
areas.
 Its Also attract the small cars
buyers like maruti 800.
 The Indian economy continued to register impressive GDP growth,
although the rate of growth declined marginally over the previous year,
reflecting inflationary trends driven by the increase in the cost of energy
and raw materials. The level of industrial activity has also begun to
decline as a result of fiscal constraints imposed on money supply and the
raising of interest rates .

 Investment flows into India increased by 20% to a record level of about

Rs. 120,000 Crores.

 The Indian automotive sector grew by 10% overall during the year with
substantial growth in the Light Commercial Vehicles sector and new
passenger car introductions. In the country 499,978 new commercial
vehicles were sold during the year and passenger car sales grew to 1.53
million vehicles this year.
