To BAD 130Y: Haha... 'Tis the 1st time I'm hearing of someone calling Vijay Mallaya "that bloke"! He happens to be one of the richest people in India, supposedly one of the biggest vintage car collectors around, the maker of my fav beer, and is on the top of the list of India's "lifestyles of the rich and famous!"... leads the life all of us can only dream of and more! He would be the LAST person to say boll**ks to importing an exotic, keeping in mind his drives around in a spider (i think), amongst other exoticas owned by him! And the thing you saying about him not liking to show off his wealth... well, our dear man's the original "BLING KING"...sporting a diamond stud in one ear, and a diamond studded supermodel whispering into his other ear over the roar of his finely-tuned supercar!
Me thinks that the two biggest reasons for the low growth of supercars here are, like everyone mentioned... black money and the mafia! But yes, i have to agree that the amount of supercars here in our country have increased manifold over the last coupla years!

godspeed.

Alok.
