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.
